Product Overview

The SC2 Outer Shield is a critical consumable component designed for Ajan plasma cutting torches. Also commonly referred to as a Retaining Cap or Shield Cup, this part serves as the first line of defense for the internal consumables (nozzle, electrode, swirl ring).

Key Features & Benefits

•   Robust Protection: Effectively shields the nozzle and other internal consumables from molten metal spatter and contact with the workpiece, preventing premature failure and damage.

•   Optimized Gas Flow: Precisely engineered channels and vents ensure the shielding gas flows correctly, which is essential for maintaining a stable plasma arc and achieving clean, high-quality cuts.

•   Enhanced Durability: Manufactured from high-quality, heat-resistant materials to withstand the extreme temperatures and abrasive conditions of plasma cutting.

Specifications

•   Part Number: SC2

•   Product Type: Outer Shield / Retaining Cap / Shield Cup

•   Compatibility: Designed for use with specific models of Ajan plasma cutting torches.

•   Application: Plasma cutting and gouging processes.

•   Material: High-temperature, copper-infused or engineered composite material.

Compatibility

Primary Compatibility:

•   This part is designed for Ajan brand plasma torches.

•   It is commonly used with various Ajan torch models (e.g., similar to designs used in many LG40, LG60, PT31 style torches). The user must verify their specific torch model.

Not Compatible With:

•   This part is not typically compatible with torches from other major brands such as Lincoln Electric, Hypertherm, ESAB, Miller, or Thermal Dynamics without a specific and verified adapter. Using an incorrect shield can lead to poor performance and potential safety hazards.

Intended Use & Applications

The SC2 Outer Shield is an essential consumable part for:

•   Mechanized and Hand-Held Plasma Cutting: Used in both manual and automated cutting setups equipped with an Ajan torch.

•   Protecting Internal Consumables: Its primary job is to take the brunt of the physical and thermal abuse, preserving the nozzle and electrode.

•   Improving Cut Quality: By ensuring proper gas flow and protecting the arc, it contributes directly to achieving smoother, more precise cuts with less dross.

•   General Purpose and Heavy-Duty Cutting: A necessary component for all cutting applications, from thin gauge sheet metal to thicker plate.

Installation & Care Tips

1.  Always allow the torch to cool before replacing consumables.

2.  Unscrew the used outer shield by hand. If stuck, use a provided wrench to avoid damaging the threads.

3.  Clean the torch head threads of any debris or spatter before installing the new shield.

4.  Hand-tighten the new SC2 Outer Shield firmly. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the threads and make future removal difficult.

5.  Regularly inspect the shield for signs of wear, melting, or clogged gas ports. Replace it immediately if any damage is observed.
