BK12849-6 - Lincoln Electric 80A Plasma Nozzle for LC100M/LC105M Torches (5-Pack)

Precision Engineering for High-Performance Plasma Cutting

The Lincoln Electric FlexCut® LC100M / LC105M Nozzle (80A), identified by SKU BK12849-6, is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial plasma cutting. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the FlexCut® 80 plasma cutting system, this nozzle is essential for maintaining the precision and quality of the plasma arc. The nozzle functions by constricting the gas flow to focus the plasma stream, a process that determines the energy density and cutting capability of the torch. By utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric parts, operators ensure that the aerodynamic properties of the gas flow remain consistent, resulting in cleaner kerfs and reduced dross accumulation.

This specific nozzle is rated for 80 Amps, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty cutting applications on materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Using a nozzle rated for the correct amperage is vital; an orifice that is too large for the current will result in a diffuse arc and poor cut quality, while an orifice that is too small may overheat and fail prematurely. The BK12849-6 is precision-machined to exact tolerances to handle the thermal and electrical stresses of 80A output, ensuring a stable arc and prolonged consumable life.

Compatibility is a key feature of this product. It is designed exclusively for the LC100M (Machine) and LC105M (Machine) series torches. These torches are often deployed in automated or mechanized cutting environments where reliability is paramount. The use of OEM consumables like the BK12849-6 protects the torch head from damage caused by poor fitment or inferior materials often found in aftermarket alternatives. This pack contains five nozzles, providing a necessary buffer for production environments where continuous operation is required. Regular inspection and replacement of the nozzle are recommended to maintain optimal cut speeds and edge quality.

Industries ranging from general fabrication to automotive manufacturing rely on the consistency provided by Lincoln Electric's plasma systems. By adhering to the manufacturer's specifications and using the correct 80A nozzle, users can maximize the efficiency of their FlexCut 80 units, ensuring that every cut meets the high standards expected in professional metalworking.
