OVERVIEW

Industrial Rotary Grounding Solution

The Tweco RG-240 Roto-Ground Clamp (SKU: 9250-1124) is a specialized grounding device engineered for high-amperage welding applications involving rotating workpieces. In industrial fabrication environments where pipes, tanks, or vessels are welded on turning rolls or positioners, standard ground clamps often fail to accommodate the continuous rotation. This leads to cables wrapping around the workpiece, causing insulation damage, potential arcing, and significant safety hazards. The RG-240 addresses this critical issue by providing a stationary cable connection point while the contact head rotates freely with the work.

Rated for 800 Amps, the RG-240 is built to handle heavy-duty welding cycles without overheating. Its robust internal design ensures consistent electrical conductivity across the rotating interface, preventing voltage drops that could affect weld quality. The unit is designed to accommodate 2-4/0 welding cables, providing ample current-carrying capacity for demanding structural and pipe fabrication tasks. By maintaining a solid ground connection on moving parts, the Tweco Roto-Ground protects expensive bearings in positioners from stray welding current and extends the lifespan of your welding cables.

This device is an essential component for any automated or semi-automated welding setup involving rotation. Its durable construction ensures long-term reliability in harsh shop environments, making it a standard choice for professional fabricators requiring efficiency and safety.

FAQ

The Tweco RG-240 is rated for 800 Amps, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial welding applications.

It is designed to provide a continuous ground connection on rotating workpieces (like pipes on rollers) without twisting or tangling the welding cables.

The device is designed to accommodate 2-4/0 welding cables.

Yes, it can be used for any welding process (Stick, MIG, TIG, Sub-Arc) as long as the amperage is within the 800A rating.

Yes, by providing a direct path for the welding current through the Roto-Ground, you prevent current from traveling through and damaging the bearings of your positioner or turning rolls.

Tweco generally offers replacement parts for their heavy-duty equipment, ensuring a long service life.

The internal part number is 9250-1124.

It is typically attached directly to the rotating fixture or workpiece, with the stationary cables connected to the non-rotating side of the device.
