The Weldcraft 22N24AL Large Gas Lens Collet is a critical component designed for precision TIG welding operations utilizing 22A and 23A series torches. Manufactured to strict tolerances, this collet is specifically engineered to hold 1/8-inch (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes securely, ensuring consistent electrical contact and arc stability. In the TIG welding circuit, the collet serves the dual purpose of mechanical gripping and electrical current transfer from the torch body to the electrode. A compromised or low-quality collet can lead to poor conductivity, overheating, and arc wandering, which are detrimental to weld integrity in industrial fabrication environments.
This particular model is designated for use with Extra Large Gas Lens Collet Bodies. Gas lenses are essential for applications requiring extended tungsten stick-out or superior gas coverage, as they organize the shielding gas into a laminar flow pattern. The 22N24AL collet fits precisely within these specialized bodies, ensuring that the tungsten remains centered and the gas flow remains undisturbed. The component is crafted from a high-conductivity copper alloy, selected for its thermal properties and durability under high-amperage conditions typical of the 22A and 23A torch ratings.
Supplied in a convenient pack of two, these collets allow maintenance teams and operators to maintain a ready stock of essential consumables. Regular replacement of collets is recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule to avoid downtime caused by component deformation or thread damage. By choosing genuine Weldcraft parts, operators ensure compatibility and performance consistency across their welding equipment fleet.
