82Z40 - ESAB R-411 Replacement Slip Ring Assembly

Reliable Power Transfer for Welding Automation

The ESAB 82Z40 Slip Ring (Model R-411) is a critical electromechanical component designed for ESAB welding automation systems and positioners. In the realm of industrial welding, the integrity of the electrical connection between stationary power sources and rotating workpieces is paramount. This slip ring serves as the conductive interface, allowing for continuous 360-degree rotation while maintaining a stable and low-resistance electrical circuit. Engineered specifically by ESAB, this OEM part ensures that your machinery operates within its original design specifications, mitigating the risks associated with third-party aftermarket components.

Slip rings are subject to mechanical wear and electrical erosion over time due to the friction of brushes and the passage of high welding currents. A degraded slip ring can lead to fluctuating voltage, poor arc starts, and increased electrical noise, which can compromise weld quality and damage sensitive control electronics. The ESAB 82Z40 is manufactured with high-grade conductive materials and precision-machined surfaces to ensure optimal contact and longevity. By replacing worn slip rings with this genuine R-411 unit, maintenance teams can restore the efficiency of their rotary grounds and positioners, ensuring that production schedules are met without unexpected equipment failure.

Integration of the 82Z40 into your preventative maintenance schedule is recommended for high-duty-cycle environments. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the harsh conditions typical of welding fabrication shops, including exposure to dust, heat, and vibration. Whether utilized in a turntable, a headstock/tailstock configuration, or a specialized robotic cell, this slip ring provides the reliable continuity required for precision welding processes.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility
