0558004053 - ESAB Replacement Rubber Grommet - 2.12 ID x 2.50 GD

Precision ESAB Replacement Component

The ESAB 0558004053 is a specialized Rubber Grommet designed to maintain the integrity and safety of industrial welding equipment. Manufactured to exact specifications, this component serves as a critical interface between the machine's internal cabling and its metal chassis. By providing a cushioned pass-through, it prevents the insulation of power cables and control wires from being compromised by vibration or contact with sharp sheet metal edges.

Technical Specifications

This grommet features a substantial Inner Diameter (ID) of 2.12 inches, making it suitable for routing thick power cables or bundles of smaller wires. The Groove Diameter (GD) is sized at 2.50 inches, intended to seat firmly into the corresponding knockout or drilled hole in the equipment panel. The Groove Width (W) is 0.06 inches, which corresponds to standard gauge sheet metal thicknesses used in heavy-duty welding power sources and plasma cutters.

Material and Durability

Constructed from high-grade industrial rubber, this grommet offers excellent resistance to aging, ozone, and the typical thermal cycling found in welding environments. Its flexibility allows for easy installation while maintaining a tight seal against the panel, which can also help in maintaining the IP rating of the enclosure by reducing dust ingress.

Application

While specifically cataloged as an ESAB spare part, the universal dimensions of this grommet make it a vital repair item for maintenance departments looking to refurbish or repair various types of industrial machinery where cable protection is paramount. Using genuine OEM parts like the 0558004053 ensures that the fit and material quality meet the original engineering standards of the equipment.
