261150 - Miller 16VDC Wire Feed Gear Motor Assembly with Double Needle Bearings

Reliable Wire Feed Performance with Miller OEM Quality

The Miller 261150 Motor, Gear 16VDC is a critical replacement component designed to restore the precision and reliability of your welding equipment's wire feed system. As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, this motor is engineered to meet the exact specifications of Miller welding machines, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance without the modifications often required by aftermarket alternatives. The motor operates on a standard 16 VDC power supply, providing the consistent torque necessary to push welding wire through the liner and gun assembly smoothly, which is essential for maintaining a stable arc and high-quality weld bead.

A standout feature of this assembly is its construction utilizing double needle bearings. Unlike standard sleeve bearings or bushings, needle bearings are designed to handle higher radial loads and reduce friction significantly during operation. This design choice enhances the lifespan of the motor, allowing it to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments where continuous operation is common. The reduction in friction also contributes to smoother rotation, directly translating to more consistent wire speeds and fewer feeding issues such as bird-nesting or stuttering.

Installation is streamlined thanks to the inclusion of pre-attached leads. Technicians can replace the faulty unit efficiently, reducing equipment downtime and maintenance labor costs. Whether you are performing preventative maintenance or an emergency repair, the Miller 261150 ensures your machine returns to factory specifications. By choosing this genuine Miller component, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment and the quality of your welding output. It is always recommended to verify fitment using your machine's serial number to ensure compatibility with this specific 16VDC gear motor configuration.
