0558102368 - ESAB MiniArc 161 Replacement Cooling Fan Assembly

Maintain Peak Performance with Genuine ESAB Parts

The ESAB 0558102368 is the official replacement cooling fan assembly specifically engineered for the MiniArc 161 welding power source. Inverter-based welding machines like the MiniArc 161 rely heavily on active cooling to dissipate the heat generated by high-frequency switching components and power transistors. A functioning fan is critical not only for maintaining the machine's rated duty cycle but also for preventing catastrophic thermal failure of the main control boards.

This OEM component ensures exact electrical compatibility with the MiniArc 161's internal power bus and control signals. Unlike generic fans which may differ in impedance, airflow characteristics (CFM), or static pressure, the ESAB 0558102368 is matched to the internal chassis design of the welder. This ensures that air is directed efficiently over the heatsinks and critical components without creating turbulence or dead zones that could lead to hot spots. The fan features high-quality bearings designed to withstand the dust and debris often found in welding environments, providing a long service life and reliable operation.

For industrial MRO procurement, sourcing genuine replacement parts is essential for equipment reliability. Using non-OEM cooling solutions can void equipment warranties and risk insufficient cooling, leading to frequent thermal tripping and reduced productivity. This assembly comes ready for installation, reducing downtime and simplifying the repair process for maintenance technicians. By replacing a failing or noisy fan promptly with this genuine ESAB part, you extend the operational lifespan of the welding asset and ensure consistent welding performance.

Whether performing preventative maintenance or reacting to a component failure, the 0558102368 fan offers the assurance of factory-spec performance. It is the only recommended solution for restoring the thermal management system of the ESAB MiniArc 161 to its original design specifications.
