CK9-12-RSF FX - CK9 Flex Head Air Cooled TIG Torch with 12.5ft SuperFlex Cable

Technical Overview of the CK9-12-RSFFX

The CK Worldwide CK9-12-RSFFX is a high-performance air-cooled TIG torch package designed for precision welding applications requiring up to 125 amps. This assembly belongs to the industry-standard 9 Series (equivalent to WP-9 or SR-9) and is engineered to provide a 100% duty cycle at its rated amperage, utilizing DCEN. The torch body features a flexible neck mechanism ("Flex Head"), allowing the operator to articulate the torch head up to 40 degrees from the centerline to access restricted joint configurations without compromising gas shielding or electrical conductivity.

A key component of this package is the 12.5-foot power cable, designated by the "RSF" code, which stands for Rubber SuperFlex. Unlike standard vinyl or PVC cables which stiffen in cold environments and resist twisting, the SuperFlex cable utilizes a high-strand-count copper conductor encased in a durable, highly flexible silicone rubber jacket. This design minimizes cable memory and drag, ensuring consistent torch positioning. The connection type is a standard 1-piece power cable configuration, which typically requires a specific DINSE or stud connector adapter depending on the power source's output terminal.

The torch utilizes standard 2-series consumables (13N series cups, collets, and bodies), ensuring broad compatibility with existing inventory. The cooling method is gas-cooled (air-cooled), relying on the shielding gas flow and ambient air to dissipate heat from the copper conductor and head assembly. This unit is ideal for light-duty fabrication, aerospace, and automotive applications where amperage requirements do not exceed 125A.
