0154200002 - Arcair A6 Contact Pad 3/8 Inch

Optimize Automatic Gouging with the Arcair 3/8" Contact Jaw

In the world of heavy fabrication and industrial metal removal, automatic carbon arc gouging stands out for its speed and precision. The Arcair Contact Jaw (3/8") is a vital component for maintaining the performance of your automated gouging setup. Specifically designed for the industry-leading Arcair-Matic A6 and N6000 torches, this contact jaw acts as the primary interface for current transfer to the carbon electrode. When pushing high amperages to remove tons of metal, the quality of this connection defines the stability of the entire process.

Automatic gouging relies on the continuous, smooth feeding of jointed carbon electrodes. The contact jaw must provide a secure mechanical guide while simultaneously delivering thousands of amps of current. This Arcair jaw is manufactured from a premium copper formulation that balances hardness with electrical conductivity. This ensures that the jaw resists the abrasive wear of the sliding carbon rod while maximizing energy efficiency. A worn jaw can lead to "stuttering" in the arc, irregular groove geometry, and excessive heat buildup in the torch head—issues that can halt production lines and require expensive repairs.

For professionals in shipbuilding, bridge construction, and heavy equipment repair, reliability is non-negotiable. This 3/8-inch contact jaw is designed to handle the rigorous demands of these sectors. It facilitates the precise removal of welds, the preparation of plate edges, and the back-gouging of seams with machine-like consistency. By choosing genuine Arcair consumables, you ensure that your automatic system operates within its design parameters, extending the lifespan of the torch and improving the overall quality of the work environment. Keep your A6 system running at peak performance by replacing worn contact surfaces with this OEM specification jaw.
