OVERVIEW

Genuine Thermal Dynamics 21-1016 Shield Cup Assembly

The Thermal Dynamics 21-1016 Shield Cup Assembly is a critical component designed specifically for the XT-3 series of plasma cutting torches. As a genuine OEM part, it is engineered to meet the exact specifications of Thermal Dynamics systems, ensuring seamless compatibility and optimal performance. In the high-stakes environment of industrial plasma cutting, the precision of your consumables directly impacts the quality of your work. This shield cup assembly plays a vital role in directing the flow of shielding gas around the arc, stabilizing the plasma stream and protecting the inner consumables from the harsh environment of the cutting zone.

Constructed from high-durability materials capable of withstanding extreme heat and spatter, the 21-1016 shield cup extends the lifespan of your torch's front-end parts. By effectively shielding the nozzle and electrode from molten metal blowback, it reduces the frequency of consumable changes, thereby minimizing downtime and operational costs. For MRO professionals and fabrication shops relying on Thermal Dynamics equipment, using authentic replacement parts is essential for maintaining warranty compliance and system reliability.

Installation is straightforward, featuring a precision-threaded design that secures firmly to the torch head. This ensures proper alignment of all internal components, which is crucial for maintaining cut accuracy and preventing gas leaks. Whether you are performing manual cutting or mechanized operations, the 21-1016 Shield Cup Assembly delivers the consistency and durability required for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Precision Fit: Manufactured to tight tolerances for the XT-3 torch series.
  • Heat Resistance: Advanced materials resist thermal shock and degradation.
  • Flow Optimization: Engineered geometry ensures smooth gas distribution.

FAQ

The 21-1016 Shield Cup Assembly is designed for use with Thermal Dynamics XT-3 series plasma torches.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM Thermal Dynamics product, ensuring perfect fit and performance.

This product is sold as a single unit (Package of 1).

The shield cup directs the flow of shielding gas and protects the inner consumables (nozzle and electrode) from molten spatter and heat.

You should replace the shield cup if it becomes cracked, significantly damaged by heat, or if the orifice becomes clogged with spatter that cannot be removed.

While primarily a standard shield cup, specific drag cutting suitability depends on the specific amperage and nozzle setup of your XT-3 torch configuration. Consult your manual for specific drag shield parts if needed.

No, this is the shield cup assembly only. Nozzles and electrodes are sold separately.

Yes, the shield cup simply threads onto the head of the XT-3 torch, making replacement quick and tool-free.
