8CB332 - CK 8 Series TIG Collet Body 3/32" (2.4mm) - 24CB332

Technical Specifications: CK 8CB332 (24CB332)

The CK 8CB332 is a standard collet body designed for use with 3/32" (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes in 8 Series TIG torches. This component serves as the primary electrical contact point between the torch head and the tungsten electrode, while also housing the collet to secure the electrode in place. It is a direct cross-reference and replacement for the industry-standard part number 24CB332 and MS1182.

Constructed from high-grade brass alloy, the 8CB332 offers superior thermal and electrical conductivity compared to standard copper or tellurium copper alternatives often found in generic kits. This material choice is critical for the 8 Series torches (models CK24, CK24W, CK80, CK90, CK180, CWH180, and CK24W), which are air-cooled or water-cooled micro-torches often operated at high duty cycles relative to their size. Efficient heat transfer through the collet body helps prevent the torch head from overheating and ensures the collet does not twist or warp under thermal stress.

Compatibility and Installation

This collet body is strictly compatible with the 8 Series front-end geometry. It will not fit 9/20 series or 17/18/26 series torches. It is designed to pair with the 8C332 collet and standard 8 Series alumina nozzles (cups). Installation is straightforward: thread the collet body into the torch head until seated firmly. Do not overtighten, as the brass threads are precision-cut to seal without excessive torque. Ensure the matching 3/32" collet is inserted before tightening the back cap.
