0558007624 - ESAB PT-36 Plasma Shield 2.4mm (.095") - Pack of 5

Precision Plasma Cutting with ESAB PT-36 Shields

The ESAB 0558007624 Shield is a specialized consumable designed for the PT-36 plasma cutting torch, a key component in ESAB's m3 Plasma systems. Engineered for automated and mechanized cutting applications, this shield features a precise 2.4mm (.095 inch) orifice. The shield plays a dual role in the plasma cutting process: it directs the flow of the secondary shielding gas around the arc to constrict and stabilize the plasma stream, and it provides a physical barrier that protects the inner nozzle from molten metal spatter and reflected heat.

Using genuine ESAB consumables like the 0558007624 ensures that your high-precision gantry or robotic system maintains its factory-specified tolerances. The 2.4mm size is calibrated for specific amperage ranges, ensuring that the cooling and shielding properties are perfectly matched to the power output. Improper shielding can lead to premature nozzle failure, poor cut edge quality, and increased bevel angles. By maintaining the integrity of the shield gas curtain, this component helps achieve dross-free cuts and extends the lifespan of the entire consumable stack.

This product is supplied in a pack of 5, allowing fabrication shops to maintain adequate inventory levels for continuous production. Regular inspection and replacement of the shield are recommended, as a damaged orifice or buildup of spatter can disrupt gas flow and degrade cut quality. Trust Josef Gas for authentic ESAB parts that deliver consistent industrial performance.
