96168035 - Arcair 96-168-035 Replacement Clamp Assembly Red +

Maintain Peak Operational Efficiency with Genuine Arcair Parts

The Arcair 96168035 Clamp Assembly Red + is a vital replacement component engineered for industrial carbon arc gouging torches. In the demanding environments of foundries, fabrication shops, and heavy equipment maintenance, the integrity of your gouging torch is paramount to maintaining production schedules and safety standards. This clamp assembly is manufactured directly by Arcair, ensuring it meets the rigorous specifications required for high-amperage applications.

Carbon arc gouging imposes significant thermal and mechanical stress on torch components. The clamp assembly is responsible for two critical functions: physically securing the carbon electrode and transferring the high electrical current required to melt the base metal. Over time, heat cycles and mechanical wear can degrade the clamping force and conductivity of the assembly. Installing the 96168035 restores the torch to factory specifications, preventing issues such as electrode slippage, arcing within the torch head, and inefficient metal removal rates.

For MRO professionals and procurement specialists, choosing genuine OEM parts like this Arcair clamp assembly minimizes downtime associated with component failure. Generic alternatives often lack the precise dimensional tolerances and material composition necessary to withstand the harsh conditions of air carbon arc gouging. By utilizing the correct replacement part, you ensure compatibility with your existing equipment inventory and extend the service life of the torch handle and cable assembly.

Technical Reliability

This assembly is designed to facilitate the optimal alignment of the air stream relative to the electrode, a key factor in achieving clean, consistent grooves. Whether used for defect removal, weld preparation, or severing metal, the performance of the gouging process relies heavily on the condition of the clamp. Ensure your maintenance team has access to high-quality replacements to keep operations running smoothly.
