OVERVIEW

Maintain Your Velocity MIG Gun Performance

Keep your welds consistent and your downtime low with the Tweco Velocity Wave Spring (Part # 1640-1399 / VCTLSPR). Designed specifically for the revolutionary Tweco Velocity MIG gun series, this wave spring is the unsung hero of your torch's front end. The Velocity system changed the game with its drop-in contact tips and superior cooling, but like all mechanical systems, it relies on tight tolerances to work effectively. This wave spring sits inside the conductor tube assembly, applying the necessary pressure to lock your consumables in place and ensure a rock-solid electrical connection.

Why is this spring so important? In the harsh environment of welding, heat is the enemy of consistency. As your torch heats up and cools down, components expand and contract. If the internal spring tension fades due to fatigue, your contact tip can become loose. A loose tip means unstable voltage, micro-arcing inside the gun, and a wandering arc on your workpiece. By swapping out your wave spring with a fresh one from this 10-pack, you eliminate the rattle and ensure that current flows smoothly from the power pin to the wire, giving you that buttery-smooth arc Tweco is famous for.

This pack of 10 springs is a must-have for any welder's toolbox or shop supply cabinet. It ensures you are never caught off guard by a worn-out part in the middle of a critical job. Installation is quick and easy—simply fit it into the assembly when you are changing out your liner or doing a deep clean of the gun. It fits perfectly because it is an OEM part, manufactured to the exact specifications required by the Velocity design.

Don't let a small, inexpensive part compromise the quality of your welds. The Tweco VCTLSPR Wave Spring ensures your Velocity nozzle and tip stay concentric and secure, providing optimal shielding gas coverage and preventing expensive burn-backs. Invest in genuine maintenance parts to get the most out of your premium welding equipment.
