The Lincoln Electric KP2029-3B1 is a high-performance TIG collet engineered to meet the rigorous demands of precision welding applications. Designed specifically for use with Lincoln's PTA-9 air-cooled and PTW-20 water-cooled TIG torches, this component plays a critical role in the electrical transfer system of the torch assembly. By securely gripping the tungsten electrode, the collet ensures consistent current flow from the power source to the arc, which is fundamental for achieving high-quality weld deposits.
Manufactured from premium-grade copper alloy, this 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) collet offers superior thermal and electrical conductivity. The material selection minimizes resistance heating within the torch head, thereby extending the lifespan of both the consumable and the torch body. The precision machining guarantees a concentric fit within the collet body, preventing electrode misalignment that could lead to arc wander or uneven bead profiles. This level of accuracy is essential for automated or manual welding operations where tolerance control is paramount.
The KP2029-3B1 is fully interchangeable with industry-standard 13N22 parts, making it a versatile addition to any inventory managing 9-series or 20-series torch equipment. Regular inspection and replacement of collets are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule; a deformed or twisted collet can severely impede gas flow and electrode adjustment. Trust in Lincoln Electric's OEM quality to maintain the integrity of your welding parameters and equipment performance.
