The 130A Swirl Ring Across Four Hosts: Hypertherm's official HyPro2000 upgrade torch for HT2000 consumables chart lists 220488 at the 130A position for both Air and O₂ . The same 220488 also serves MAXPRO200 machine torch at 130A Air/O₂ and HSD130 at 130A — Pierce's catalog titles it explicitly "SWIRL RING: HSD/HyPro2000/MAXPRO200 130A AIR-130A O2" .
Vortex Generation = Arc Focus: The swirl ring's job is to control and swirl the plasma gas around the electrode and into the nozzle. This controls the arc attachment point on the electrode emitter and the gas flow through the nozzle orifice in a way that delivers the best edge angularity .
Ceramic/Lava Body, Not Copper: Constructed from high-grade ceramic composite — KO Equipment lists the 220488 as "Made of Ceramic & high polymer material" . Ceramic handles the thermal load at 130A far better than copper-body swirls and remains chemically stable in oxygen-rich processes.

HALANSM® 220488 Swirl Ring — 130A for HyPro2000 Upgrade Torch for HT2000 / MAX200 / MAXPRO200 / HSD130
The HALANSM® 220488 is the designated 130A swirl ring / gas diffuser for four Hypertherm host platforms: the HyPro2000 upgrade torch for HT2000, the HyPro2000 upgrade torch for MAX200, the native MAXPRO200, and the HSD130 . As the component that conditions the plasma gas into a focused vortex, the swirl ring directly governs arc stability, edge angularity, and electrode life at the 130A class. A worn or clogged swirl ring causes arc wander, degraded edge squareness, and accelerated electrode erosion .
Why 220488 is the right swirl ring for 130A HyPro2000-on-HT2000 work
Hypertherm's official HyPro2000 upgrade torch for HT2000 consumables chart places the 220488 at the 130A position for both gas processes :
130A Air (mild steel / stainless / aluminum): 220536 shield · 220936 shield cap · 220892 nozzle · 220488 swirl ring · 220487 electrode · 220521 water tube · 220935 retaining cap (without tab)
130A O₂ (mild steel): 220491 shield · 220936 shield cap · 220893 nozzle · 220488 swirl ring · 220487 electrode · 220521 water tube · 220935 retaining cap (without tab)
The same 220488 also serves MAXPRO200 machine torch at 130A and HSD130 at 130A — Pierce's catalog confirms it as "SWIRL RING: HSD/HyPro2000/MAXPRO200 130A AIR-130A O2-130A N2-200A AIR" . One swirl ring, four host torches, two gas processes at 130A.
Key Features
Helical Vane Vortex Generation: The swirl ring's job is to control and swirl the plasma gas around the electrode and into the nozzle. This controls the arc attachment point on the electrode emitter and the gas flow through the nozzle orifice in a way that delivers the best edge angularity . The HALANSM 220488 reproduces Hypertherm's vane geometry to micron tolerance so the vortex stays symmetric — producing square, dross-free kerfs and extending electrode life.
Ceramic/Lava Composite Body: Unlike copper-body swirls of older platforms, the 220488 is built from high-grade ceramic and high-polymer composite (KO Equipment lists it as "Made of Ceramic & high polymer material" ). Ceramic withstands the thermal shock of 130A cutting and remains chemically inert in oxygen-rich processes — copper would oxidize and lose vane geometry.
Electrode Cooling & Wear Distribution: Beyond vortex generation, the swirl ring's gas flow cools the electrode, evenly distributing heat and extending its lifespan . This is why Hypertherm maintenance docs call out inspecting the swirl ring for damaged or clogged holes — a compromised swirl directly shortens electrode 220487 life .
OEM-Tolerance Manufacturing: Machined to Hypertherm's exact OEM dimensions so it drops into the HyPro2000/MAXPRO200/HSD130 torch head and seals perfectly against both the electrode base and the nozzle shoulder — no gas bypass, no pressure loss, no arc instability.

NOTE: 220488 = 130A swirl ring / gas diffuser. Primary compatibility: HyPro2000 upgrade torch for HT2000, HyPro2000 upgrade torch for MAX200, MAXPRO200 machine torch, and HSD130 — all at 130A Air & O₂ . Also covers 200A Air on MAXPRO200 and HSD130 . For 200A O₂, Hypertherm specifies the 220834 swirl ring instead — 220488 is not the correct part for 200A oxygen . The 220488 seats between electrode 220487 and nozzle 220892/220893, locked in place by inner retaining cap 220935 and outer shield cap 220936 . Always inspect the swirl ring for damaged or clogged holes when cut quality degrades — a compromised swirl directly causes arc wander and premature electrode failure . HALANSM® is an independent aftermarket manufacturer; this part is a compatible replacement for Hypertherm® systems.
