K52256-05 - HELIX Track Ring Shoe Extension 0.5-Inch Stainless Steel

Expand Your Welding Capabilities with Lincoln Electric

The Lincoln Electric K52256-05 HELIX Track Shoe Extension is a specialized accessory engineered to enhance the functionality of HELIX OD and ID Track Rings. When working with mechanized welding systems, the ability to adapt to varying pipe schedules and diameters is crucial for maintaining productivity. This 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) extension acts as a bridge, allowing your standard track rings to fit a wider array of workpiece sizes securely and accurately.

Stainless Steel Construction

Quality materials are the foundation of reliable welding equipment. This shoe extension is crafted from durable stainless steel, making it ideal for high-purity applications where contamination must be avoided. Whether you are working on stainless steel process piping or other sensitive materials, this accessory ensures that the contact points between your track system and the pipe do not introduce impurities. Its rugged design withstands the harsh environment of industrial fabrication shops and field sites alike.

Innovative Design Features

Lincoln Electric has designed this extension with the user in mind. The unit features a precision-machined grooved interface that mates perfectly with the track ring, ensuring zero play and perfect alignment. This stability is essential for the smooth travel of the orbital weld head. Installation is straightforward, utilizing a single screw to secure the shoe to the ring. This simplicity reduces setup time, allowing welders to focus on the arc rather than the equipment setup.

Customizable and Stackable

One of the standout features of the K52256-05 is its stackability. In scenarios where a standard extension isn't enough, these shoes can be layered to achieve the required clearance or diameter adjustment. While standard mounting screws are included for single use, longer screws can be sourced to facilitate stacked configurations. This adaptability transforms your standard HELIX track rings into a multi-purpose solution capable of handling non-standard pipe sizes efficiently.

Applications:

• Orbital Pipe Welding
• Mechanized Cutting
• Pipeline Construction
• Process Piping Fabrication

Equip your HELIX system with the K52256-05 Track Shoe Extension and experience the freedom to tackle a broader range of projects with confidence and precision.
