3MH70-0715-1029-4 - Speedglas 9100 Series Replacement Headband Assembly

Maintain Peak Safety and Comfort with Genuine Speedglas Replacements

In the industrial welding environment, the integrity of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is paramount not just for compliance, but for the sustained productivity of the workforce. The 3M Speedglas Headband Assembly (06-0400-51) is the direct OEM replacement suspension system designed specifically for the Speedglas 9100 Series welding helmets. Over time, daily wear and tear, sweat, and thermal cycling can degrade the plastic components and soft goods of a welding helmet's suspension system. Replacing the headgear is a cost-effective maintenance strategy that extends the service life of the entire helmet unit, avoiding the capital expense of full helmet replacement.

This assembly is engineered with 3M's focus on human factors and ergonomics. The design explicitly avoids pressure on the sensitive nerves and arteries located around the cranium, which is a common cause of welder fatigue and headaches during long shifts. The assembly includes the complete headband structure along with the necessary mounting hardware to attach it securely to the helmet shell. It features a smooth ratchet mechanism that allows for precise tightening even while wearing gloves, ensuring the helmet remains stable during positional welding.

For procurement officers and shop managers, stocking genuine replacement parts like the 06-0400-51 ensures that downtime is minimized. When a welder's headgear fails, work stops. Having the correct, high-quality replacement on hand means the helmet can be returned to service immediately, maintaining the safety standards and comfort levels your team relies on. This part is compatible with the standard 9100, 9100 Air, and 9100 FX models, making it a versatile inventory item for shops utilizing the Speedglas platform.
