K559-3 - Cool Arc 40 Vertical Cylinder Rack Mounting Kit

Technical Integration: K559-3 Vertical Mount for Cool Arc 40

For professional welders and maintenance technicians, equipment integration is key to a reliable workflow. The Lincoln Electric K559-3 Vertical Mounting Bracket provides a precise mechanical interface for mounting the Cool Arc 40 water cooler directly into the cylinder rack of compatible Lincoln undercarriages. This component is critical for users converting air-cooled systems to water-cooled configurations for higher duty cycle applications, such as heavy structural MIG or precision TIG welding.

The design of the K559-3 addresses the specific geometry of Lincoln's industrial carts. It mounts the cooler vertically, aligning it with the gas cylinder space. This vertical orientation is crucial for maintaining proper coolant flow while ensuring the cooler's intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed, preventing overheating of the pump motor. The bracket creates a rigid connection between the cooler and the undercarriage, mitigating vibration transfer and ensuring the coolant lines remain secure and untangled during machine repositioning.

Undercarriage Compatibility:
This bracket is engineered for precise fitment with the following undercarriage models:

• K874 Undercarriage: Typically paired with the CV-300 power source.
• K932-1 Undercarriage: Designed for the Square Wave TIG 275.
• K1570-1 Undercarriage: Used with the Power Wave 455 system.

Attempting to use this bracket with non-specified carts may result in improper fitment or instability. The kit includes heavy-duty fasteners required to bolt the bracket to the cart frame, ensuring a permanent and reliable installation.

By integrating the cooler into the cylinder rack, the K559-3 allows for a single-unit mobile solution. This is particularly advantageous in MRO environments where equipment must be moved to the work piece. The bracket ensures the center of gravity remains manageable and that the cooler is protected by the surrounding cart structure. For TIG and MIG operators running high amperages, this seamless integration of the cooling system facilitates consistent arc performance by ensuring the torch remains cool, without the logistical headache of managing separate cooling units.
