Shield Cup 0558006141 For ESAB PT-36 Plasma Cutting Torch Consumables (4.1mm 70–280A)
The shield cup is the outermost sleeve of the PT-36 head. Its job is simple but decisive:
lock the “standoff world” in place, protect the nozzle / electrode / swirl front-end from spatter/arc splash, and give the shielding gas a clean exit path.
When the shield bore and seat are correct, pierce stays repeatable and edge drift disappears—especially in that awkward mid-plate 70–280A zone where shops flip between thin and thick in the same nest.
Key Points (written for buyers/purchasing, not just techs)
4.1mm Bore / 70–280A Window: Matches the PT-36 shield family (2.4 / 3.0 / 4.1 / 6.6 / 9.9) so you can scale shield size to amperage without guessing.
Copper Thermal Mass: Better heat soak than soft/impure copies; keeps shape stable and reduces “random edge change.”
Seat & O-Ring Lands: Smooth, controlled surfaces to help prevent gas bypass/coolant weep at the torch head.
Drop-In Fit: Made to the PT-36 shield envelope (0558006141) so it seats with Shield Retainer 37081/related hardware correctly—no filing, no shimming.
