OVERVIEW

Genuine 3M Speedglas 9100 Series Replacement Headband

The 3M Speedglas Headband 9100 (06-0400-51) is the official replacement suspension system designed specifically for the Speedglas 9100 series of welding helmets. When your original headgear becomes worn, damaged, or loses its tension, this assembly restores the stability and comfort that the 9100 series is famous for. Engineered with a deep understanding of human ergonomics, this headband is not just a strap; it is a sophisticated suspension system that actively works to reduce fatigue during long welding shifts.

One of the standout features of this headband is its ability to avoid pressure on the sensitive nerves, arteries, and acupressure points of the head. The design utilizes two adjustable crown straps which significantly improve stability compared to single-strap designs. This ensures that the helmet remains securely in place, even when the welder is moving their head rapidly or working in out-of-position scenarios. The back of the headband features self-adjusting twin pads that conform to the unique shape of the user's head, distributing the weight of the helmet/filter assembly evenly.

The smooth ratchet mechanism is located at the rear, allowing for precise sizing adjustments. This large knob is designed to be easily manipulated even while wearing heavy welding gloves, enabling on-the-fly tightening or loosening as needed. This part is compatible with the standard Speedglas 9100, 9100 Air, 9100 FX, and 9100 FX Air helmets. It is not compatible with the older 9000 series or the newer G5-01 series unless specified by 3M adapters. Maintaining your personal protective equipment is critical for safety and performance; replacing the suspension ensures your auto-darkening filter remains properly positioned in front of your eyes.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Stability: Dual crown straps prevent the helmet from wobbling.
  • Compatibility: Fits the entire 9100 family of shells.
  • Durability: Constructed from high-strength industrial plastics designed to withstand the rigors of a welding environment.

FAQ

Yes, this headband (06-0400-51) is fully compatible with the Speedglas 9100 FX, as well as the standard 9100, 9100 Air, and 9100 FX Air models.

No, this headband is specifically designed for the 9100 series shell geometry. The mounting points are different on the 9000 series.

The assembly typically includes the plastic suspension structure. While some versions may include a sweatband, it is often recommended to purchase fresh sweatbands (fleece or cotton) separately for hygiene.

The headband snaps into the mounting pivots on the side of the helmet shell. You simply pull the old one out and snap the new one in until it clicks securely.

Yes, the 9100 headband assembly allows for forward and backward adjustment to change the viewing distance and accommodate respirators or glasses.

Yes, the ratchet is designed for industrial use and tested to withstand thousands of adjustment cycles, though like all moving parts, it may eventually wear out over years of heavy use.

This part number is for the headband suspension itself. If you need the pivot mechanism or mounting knobs that attach to the shell, those are often sold as a separate hardware kit.

The dual crown straps improve stability and weight distribution, preventing the helmet from falling forward or slipping sideways during movement.
