OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB Replacement Parts for Industrial Plasma Cutting

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime in industrial environments translates directly to lost revenue. That is why we stock essential replacement components like the ESAB 34585 Tube Baffle for the widely used PT-26 plasma torch. This component plays a pivotal role in the internal mechanics of your plasma cutter, ensuring that the gas flow is correctly directed and that the internal components remain electrically isolated where necessary.

The PT-26 torch is a workhorse in many fabrication shops, but like all high-performance tools, its internal components are subject to wear and heat stress. The tube baffle (Part #34585) sits within the torch head and is responsible for channeling the plasma gas. If this baffle becomes cracked, clogged, or deformed due to excessive heat, it can disrupt the gas swirl pattern. This disruption leads to an unstable arc, poor cut quality, and rapid deterioration of other consumables like the electrode and nozzle. By replacing your baffle with this genuine ESAB part, you ensure your equipment continues to operate at factory specifications.

Our commitment to quality means we provide parts that fit perfectly and last longer. This baffle is manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant materials designed to withstand the extreme environment inside a plasma torch. Whether you are cutting thin gauge sheet metal or thicker plate, the consistency of your gas flow is paramount. Trust Josef Gas to supply the specific maintenance parts you need to keep your ESAB equipment running smoothly and efficiently.

Key Benefits:

  • Restores original factory performance to PT-26 torches.
  • Prevents gas turbulence for cleaner, straighter cuts.
  • Protects the torch head from internal arcing damage.
  • Easy to install during routine consumable changes.

FAQ

The tube baffle directs the flow of plasma gas inside the torch to create a swirl pattern, which stabilizes the arc and cools the consumables. It also acts as an electrical insulator.

Inspect the baffle for cracks, burns, or deformation. If the small gas holes are clogged or if the fit is loose, it should be replaced to prevent arc instability.

No, the 34585 Tube Baffle is designed specifically for the PT-26 model. Using it in other torches may cause damage or fitment issues.

Yes, a damaged baffle causes poor gas flow, which can lead to the arc wandering and overheating the electrode and nozzle, significantly shortening their lifespan.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring the correct specifications and material quality for your equipment.

You can clean minor debris, but if the material is heat-damaged, brittle, or the geometry is altered, cleaning will not restore performance and replacement is necessary.

The baffle is located inside the torch head, typically positioned between the electrode and the torch body or nozzle assembly, depending on the specific torch architecture.
