0558006010 - ESAB PT-36 50A Plasma Nozzle 1.0mm (5-Pack)

Precision Plasma Cutting with ESAB PT-36 Consumables

The ESAB 0558006010 Nozzle is a critical component designed for the PT-36 plasma cutting torch system. Engineered to precise tolerances, this nozzle features a 1.0mm (0.040 inch) orifice, specifically calibrated for operation at 50 Amperes. In plasma cutting, the nozzle plays a vital role in constricting the plasma arc, increasing its energy density and velocity. This constriction is what allows the plasma stream to cut through conductive metals with speed and accuracy. By maintaining a tight tolerance on the orifice diameter, ESAB ensures that the arc remains focused, resulting in a narrower kerf and a cleaner cut face.

Manufactured in the United States, these nozzles are crafted from high-quality copper alloys selected for their excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to the intense heat generated during the plasma process. Proper heat management is essential for consumable longevity; the material composition helps wick heat away from the orifice edge, delaying the erosion that eventually degrades cut quality. This pack contains five nozzles, providing industrial users with necessary stock to maintain continuous operations without extended downtime.

The PT-36 torch is a high-performance tool often used in automated and mechanized cutting environments where consistency is paramount. Using genuine ESAB consumables like the 0558006010 nozzle ensures that the torch operates within its design parameters. Mismatched or generic consumables can lead to poor gas flow dynamics, arc instability, and even damage to the torch head itself. This specific nozzle is optimized for the 50A range, making it ideal for cutting thinner to medium-gauge materials where precision is prioritized over raw severance power.

Industrial maintenance and repair operations (MRO) rely on the predictability of their equipment. By utilizing OEM parts, facility managers and procurement specialists can ensure that their cutting systems deliver the expected duty cycle and cut quality. The 0558006010 nozzle represents ESAB's commitment to quality in the plasma cutting sector, offering a reliable solution for fabrication shops, manufacturing plants, and heavy industry applications utilizing the PT-36 platform.
