OVERVIEW

Reliable Protection for Your Plasma Torch

The Thermal Dynamics 9-5500 Shield Cup is a critical consumable component designed for use with the PCH-51, M-51, PCH-52, and M-52 series plasma torches. Often found on classic Pak Master plasma cutting systems, this shield cup plays a vital role in the cutting process. It surrounds the electrode and nozzle, channeling the secondary gas flow to cool the consumables and assist in constricting the plasma arc for precision cutting.

Manufactured to meet strict OEM specifications, this shield cup ensures that your equipment operates safely and efficiently. By effectively shielding the inner consumables from molten metal spatter and intense radiant heat, it prolongs the life of your nozzle and electrode. A damaged or clogged shield cup can lead to poor cut quality, double arcing, or overheating of the torch head. Regular inspection and replacement of the 9-5500 cup are recommended to maintain the high standards of cut quality associated with Thermal Dynamics equipment.

Whether you are operating a manual hand torch or a mechanized setup, the 9-5500 provides the durability needed for industrial environments. Its heat-resistant composite construction withstands the thermal shock of plasma cutting, ensuring it remains dimensionally stable even during long duty cycles.

FAQ

The 9-5500 shield cup is designed for Thermal Dynamics PCH-51, M-51, PCH-52, and M-52 plasma torches.

You should replace the shield cup if it is cracked, chipped, heavily built up with spatter that cannot be removed, or if the threads are damaged.

Yes, if your Pak Master 50 is equipped with the standard PCH-51 or M-51 torch, this is the correct shield cup.

The shield cup directs the flow of shielding gas, protects the nozzle and electrode from spatter, and insulates the torch electrically.

This part is compatible with Thermal Dynamics specifications. Please check the specific listing details for OEM verification.

Standard shield cups like the 9-5500 are generally used for standoff cutting. For drag cutting, a specific drag shield or attachment might be required depending on the torch setup.

It is typically made from a high-temperature ceramic or composite material designed to withstand the heat of the plasma arc.
