The ESAB 10N28 Collet Body is a fundamental component designed for precision Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Engineered to accommodate 1/8-inch (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes, this collet body is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure consistent electrical conductivity and thermal management within the torch head. It serves as the primary interface between the torch power cable and the collet, facilitating the transfer of welding current to the electrode while simultaneously housing the collet to prevent slippage during operation.
Compatibility is a key feature of the 10N28 design. It is universally compatible with the industry-standard 3 Series consumable system, making it suitable for use with air-cooled 17 and 26 series torches, as well as water-cooled 18 series torches. This includes ESAB's own HW-17, HW-18, and HW-26 models, as well as equivalent torches from other major manufacturers. The use of high-grade copper alloy in the manufacturing process ensures that the component maintains structural integrity under high-heat conditions, minimizing thread deformation and extending the service life of the torch head.
For procurement and maintenance teams, the 5-pack configuration offers an efficient inventory solution for high-consumable items. Regular replacement of collet bodies is essential for maintaining weld quality, as worn bodies can lead to poor gas coverage and unstable arcs. By choosing ESAB genuine parts, operators are assured of a component that meets rigorous industrial standards for fit, finish, and performance. Whether used in aerospace, petrochemical, or general fabrication environments, the ESAB 10N28 provides the reliability required for critical welding tasks.
This component is distinct from a gas lens collet body; it is a standard collet body intended for general-purpose welding where standard gas coverage is sufficient. It pairs seamlessly with standard 10N series ceramic cups and 10N25 collets, forming a reliable front-end assembly for diverse TIG applications.
