Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 94 - X2 Cap (Cap Only) - 1pcs
This is the original protective cap by Ink Machines, sold separately as a spare part in the 'Cap Only' version — meaning just the cap, without the damper and without the damper plug. It is the external component that covers the rotary machine's mechanism, with a functional, not decorative, role. It is intended for artists who want to replace a damaged, cracked, or lost cap, or who are completing a refurbished machine. Being a precision part, it must be chosen strictly according to the correct reference for your machine.
How to use
- Before ordering, confirm that your machine matches this reference (no. 94, X2 version) — spare parts are chosen exactly by model, not 'approximately'.
- Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source before any intervention.
- Carefully remove the old or damaged cap without forcing the internal mechanism.
- Clean the mating area on the machine body (dust, dried ink residue) and wipe the external surfaces.
- Note that this is the 'Cap Only' version: it does not include the damper or the damper plug. If these are missing or worn, obtain them separately (or choose the complete cap, reference 03B).
- Place the new cap aligned on the machine body and secure it in the dedicated slot without forcing.
- Check that it sits firmly, with no play, and does not come loose during normal handling.
- Start the machine at low speed first, then at working speed, and observe if everything functions normally.
Tips from us
- Keep the exact reference (no. 94 / X2) when ordering to avoid getting a part that does not fit.
- If you need other components, order them separately: the damper (reference 93) or the cam set (Cam Kit no. 85); for the complete cap with damper, choose reference 03B.
- Do not use the machine long-term without the cap — the mechanism remains exposed to ink, moisture, and dust.
- Disinfect the cap and machine externally between clients and store spare parts in a dry, clean place.
- When disassembling the cap for maintenance, take the opportunity to also inspect the condition of the damper and cam.
Warning: This is equipment that works on skin, so hygiene is mandatory: disinfect the cap and machine body with isopropyl alcohol (typically 70%) and use a barrier film on the machine during the session. Do not submerge the machine in liquid and avoid harsh solvents. Any work on the parts should be done with the machine turned off and disconnected.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does this product include?▾
Only the X2 protective cap, in the 'Cap Only' version — meaning without the damper and without the damper plug. If you need the complete cap with damper, order reference 03B (X2 Cap) separately.
How do I know this is the right part for my machine?▾
Spare parts must be chosen strictly by reference and model. This product is reference no. 94, X2 version. Before ordering, check the exact model of your machine and, if in doubt, compare with the reference of the existing part. Do not assume that a cap from another model or generation will fit — the body geometry differs between models.
Does it include cams or a damper?▾
No. It is sold as an individual part, just the cap. Cams are ordered separately (Cam Kit no. 85), and the damper separately (reference 93). The modular approach allows you to replace only the worn part, not the entire assembly.
How do I maintain and disinfect it?▾
Wipe and disinfect it externally with isopropyl alcohol (typically 70%), just like the rest of the machine, between clients. Do not submerge it in liquid and avoid harsh solvents. Keep it dry when not mounted.
Can I use the machine without the cap?▾
Technically, the machine can run, but it is not recommended: without the cap, the internal mechanism remains exposed to ink, moisture, and dust, increasing the risk of contamination and wear. The cap has a protective role, so it is best to have it mounted during work.
Product description
Inkmachines nr. 94 - X2 Cap (Cap Only) X2 Cap without the Damper and Damper plug. If you want the complete X2 cap order No.03B
The InkMachines X2 Cap nr. 94 is the original protective cap designed for the InkMachines Dragonfly X2 rotary machine, the exterior component that seals and protects the machine's internal mechanism — the cam, motor shaft, dampening system, and electrical connections. This cap is not merely an aesthetic element but a critical functional part: it maintains the structural geometry of the machine body, prevents ink, water, and contaminants from entering the internal mechanism, and contributes to operating noise reduction by encapsulating the moving mechanical components. Manufactured from anodized aerospace aluminum alloy or high-strength technical polymer, the X2 cap is designed to withstand accidental impacts, chemical cleaning substances, and repeated mounting-dismounting cycles necessary for machine maintenance. The exterior finish is treated to provide grip adhesion and scratch resistance, maintaining the machine's professional appearance long-term. The fixing system (clip, thread, or press-fit) is designed for quick tool-free mounting, allowing easy access to cams and internal components when machine reconfiguration is needed. The product is sold as an individual replacement part (Cap Only — cap only), without cams, damper, or other internal components. Ideal for replacing a damaged, cracked, scratched, or lost cap. The original InkMachines part guarantees perfect dimensional fit and correct function of the fixing mechanism on the Dragonfly X2 machine body.
