OVERVIEW

Hypertherm 420156 Ohmic Retaining Cap for Powermax 125

The Hypertherm 420156 is a specialized Ohmic Retaining Cap engineered for the Duramax Hyamp torch series, which is the standard torch platform for the Powermax 125 plasma cutting system. This component plays a pivotal role in the plasma cutting process, particularly for mechanized applications where precision and automation are paramount. The cap is designed to secure the nozzle and swirl ring in place while directing the shield gas flow around the arc, ensuring stability and cooling during operation.

A key feature of the 420156 retaining cap is its Ohmic sensing capability. In automated CNC plasma cutting, Initial Height Sensing (IHS) is critical for establishing the correct pierce height without damaging the torch or the workpiece. This cap includes a conductive contact point that allows the torch height controller (THC) to detect the plate surface via electrical contact. This ensures that the torch is positioned at the exact height required for piercing, reducing the risk of torch collisions and improving consumable life.

Manufactured to Hypertherm's rigorous standards, this 125A retaining cap is built to withstand the intense heat and duty cycles associated with heavy industrial cutting. It is compatible with both handheld and mechanized Duramax Hyamp torches. Using genuine Hypertherm consumables like the 420156 ensures that your Powermax 125 system operates at peak efficiency, delivering the superior cut quality and speed that the system is known for.

FAQ

The 420156 retaining cap is designed for the Hypertherm Powermax 125 system using Duramax Hyamp torches.

Yes, the 420156 is an Ohmic retaining cap, allowing for electrical contact surface detection used in automated height control systems.

Yes, it fits Duramax Hyamp hand torches, although Ohmic sensing features are typically utilized in mechanized applications.

This retaining cap is rated for 125 Amps, matching the maximum output of the Powermax 125.

Replace the cap if it is cracked, the threads are stripped, the ohmic tab is damaged, or if there is significant spatter buildup obstructing gas flow.

Yes, this is a genuine Hypertherm 420156 consumable manufactured to original specifications.

You will typically need a nozzle (e.g., 420169), electrode (e.g., 220977), swirl ring (e.g., 420151), and shield (e.g., 420168) depending on your specific setup.

No, this cap is specific to the Duramax Hyamp torch found on the Powermax 125. It is physically larger than standard Duramax consumables.
