2C332GS - CK Worldwide 3/32" Wedge Collet for 2 Series Gas Saver TIG Torches (5-Pack)

Precision Engineering for TIG Welding Efficiency

The CK Worldwide 2C332GS is a specialized 3/32" (2.4mm) wedge collet designed specifically for use with the CK Worldwide Gas Saver™ system on 2 Series TIG torches. Unlike traditional split collets that rely on a squeezing action which can lead to twisting, deformation, and inconsistent electrical contact, the wedge collet utilizes a mechanical wedging action to secure the tungsten electrode. This design innovation ensures that the tungsten is held firmly in place without the risk of the collet buckling under high thermal stress, a common failure point in standard consumables.

Engineered for the professional fabricator, this collet is an integral component of the Gas Saver front-end assembly. The Gas Saver system is renowned for providing a laminar gas flow that improves weld quality and allows for greater tungsten stick-out. The 2C332GS wedge collet complements this system by maintaining precise concentricity of the electrode within the gas stream. By maximizing the surface area contact between the collet, the collet body, and the tungsten, it facilitates superior current transfer. This results in a more stable arc, reduced resistance heating within the torch head, and ultimately, a longer service life for both the consumable and the torch itself.

Compatibility is extensive within the 2 Series family. This collet fits industry-standard #9 and #20 torches, as well as CK Worldwide's proprietary models such as the CK100, CK110, CK130, CK200, CK230, FL2L, and CKM230. It is also compatible with similar models from other major manufacturers like Weldcraft, Lincoln, and WeldTec, provided they are equipped with the appropriate Gas Saver conversion kit. Supplied in a pack of five, these collets offer a cost-effective solution for high-volume welding operations requiring consistent performance and reduced downtime associated with consumable changeovers.

Technical specifications include a 3/32-inch bore tailored for 2.4mm tungsten electrodes. The wedge geometry is specifically calibrated to work with the Gas Saver heat shield and collet body, ensuring that the gas seal remains intact and effective. For industrial MRO applications where reliability is paramount, the switch to wedge collets represents a significant upgrade in process stability.
