The ESAB SR 26FX Torch Body (SKU: 0700025607) is a premium replacement component designed for the SR 26 series of air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered for industrial durability and precision, this torch body features a flexible neck ("FX") mechanism that allows the operator to manually adjust the angle of the head. This capability is critical for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments where welding joints are often located in confined spaces or at awkward angles that standard rigid torches cannot effectively reach. By allowing the head to bend, the welder can maintain the optimal tungsten angle and arc length without compromising their body positioning or safety.
Constructed from high-grade silicone rubber, the torch body offers superior resistance to high temperatures and electrical leakage. This insulation ensures operator safety and prolongs the service life of the torch, even under the thermal stress of continuous welding at its rated capacity. The SR 26FX is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it a versatile choice for welding mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in medium-duty fabrication tasks. The body utilizes heavy-duty copper components internally to maximize current transfer efficiency and minimize heat buildup within the head itself.
This unit is designed as a direct replacement for existing ESAB SR 26 systems and is generally compatible with industry-standard 26-series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and back caps. This cross-compatibility simplifies inventory management for workshops that utilize multiple brands of TIG equipment. Whether replacing a damaged unit or upgrading a standard rigid torch to a flexible configuration, the ESAB SR 26FX provides the reliability and performance expected from a leading manufacturer in welding technology.
