94940108 - Arcair Replacement Washer for Torch Extension 94-168-023

Genuine Arcair Maintenance Components for Industrial Applications

The Arcair 94-940-108 Washer is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Arcair gouging torch assemblies. In the demanding field of carbon arc gouging, equipment is subjected to extreme heat, mechanical stress, and vibration. Maintaining the structural integrity of the torch is paramount for both safety and performance. This washer is engineered to fit the 94-168-023 Extension, a common accessory used to extend the reach of standard gouging torches for specialized applications. By utilizing genuine OEM parts, facilities managers and maintenance technicians ensure that the equipment operates within the manufacturer's specified tolerances.

Precision engineering defines the Arcair brand, and even small components like the 94-940-108 washer play a vital role in the overall system. In an extension assembly, washers serve to distribute load, prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, and most importantly, act as a locking mechanism to prevent components from backing out due to the high-frequency vibrations often associated with compressed air and heavy-current arcs. Using non-standard or ill-fitting washers can lead to loose connections, which in electrical circuits can cause increased resistance, overheating, and premature failure of the torch body or extension arm.

For industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) procurement, sourcing the correct part number is essential to minimize downtime. The 94-940-108 is the exact match for the 94-168-023 assembly, eliminating the guesswork associated with sizing generic hardware. This part is manufactured from durable materials capable of withstanding the industrial environment typical of foundries, shipyards, and steel fabrication plants. Ensuring your inventory is stocked with these specific replacement parts allows for immediate repair, keeping production lines moving and gouging operations efficient.

When servicing Arcair equipment, it is recommended to inspect all mechanical connections during routine maintenance intervals. If the extension assembly shows signs of play or if the existing washer is corroded, deformed, or missing, immediate replacement with the 94-940-108 is necessary. This product represents Arcair's commitment to providing comprehensive support for their entire line of air carbon arc gouging products, ensuring longevity and reliability for the end-user.
