220764 Shield for Hypertherm HPR260XD Plasma Cutting Torch Consumables 260A Mild Steel

Shield 220764 for HPR Plasma Torch – HALANSM®

The HALANSM® 220764 Shield is a critical protective component in the Hypertherm HPR plasma cutting torch consumable stack. Positioned at the very bottom, it acts as the first line of defense against molten metal spatter and ensures optimal cooling for the nozzle above.

Protecting Your Cut Quality

During high-amperage plasma cutting, intense heat and sparks are generated. The shield's primary function is to protect the nozzle (220439) and swirl ring (220436) from this thermal damage and spatter buildup. A damaged or warped shield can lead to poor arc focus, increased dross, and premature failure of the entire consumable set.

Key Features:

• Advanced Cooling Design: The HALANSM 220764 features strategically placed coolant holes that allow pressurized water to flow efficiently around the nozzle, preventing thermal runaway and cracking.

• Precision Copper Alloy: Constructed from premium tellurium copper, this shield offers exceptional electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, ensuring the torch operates at peak efficiency even during the longest production cycles.

• Perfect Fitment: CNC-machined to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing seamless integration with the retaining cap (220760) and a secure O-ring seal to prevent water leaks.

• Synergistic Performance: Designed to work exclusively with the HALANSM 220435 Electrode, 220436 Swirl Ring, and 220439 Nozzle for optimal performance and maximum consumable life.

Installation Note:

For optimal performance and safety, Hypertherm recommends replacing the electrode, swirl ring, nozzle, retaining cap, and shield as a complete interchangeable set. Mixing old and new components can lead to arc instability, double-arcing, and accelerated wear on expensive parts.

NOTE: 220764 = 260A Mild Steel Shield. Primary fit: HPR260XD / HPR400XD / HPR800XD. HALANSM 220764 is an aftermarket compatible replacement, not Hypertherm OEM.

220764 in the HPR 260A Consumable Stack

Key Points (buyer-facing)

• 260A mild steel shield for HPR260XD: 220764 is the standard shield used in the 260A mild steel straight cutting stack . It is specifically designed to handle the thermal load of cutting thick mild steel plates.

• Critical role in plasma stack: Located directly below the retaining cap (220760), the shield protects the nozzle from spatter and ensures proper water-cooling circulation. A damaged 220764 shield will cause the nozzle to overheat, leading to premature failure and poor cut quality.

• Material matters: Made from high-purity tellurium copper (C14500), the HALANSM 220764 offers superior thermal conductivity compared to cheaper alternatives, ensuring stable arc characteristics throughout the cut.

• Not for bevel cutting: The 220764 shield is intended for straight cutting only. For 260A bevel cutting applications, different shield and nozzle combinations are required (typically 220738 or 220739 shields depending on the specific bevel setup).

• Wear indicator: Inspect the O-ring groove and the face of the shield regularly. If you notice excessive grooving, warping, or O-ring damage, replace the 220764 shield immediately to prevent damage to the retaining cap.

• Synergy with retaining cap: Always ensure the 220764 shield is paired with the correct retaining cap (220760). Using incorrect combinations can lead to insufficient cooling and catastrophic torch failure.
