0216549780 - ESAB PKB 250/400 Replacement Bearing Bracket

Restore Factory Precision with the ESAB PKB Bearing Bracket

In the realm of high-performance industrial welding, the integrity of your equipment is paramount. The ESAB 0216549780 Bearing Bracket is a critical OEM component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of PKB 250 and PKB 400 push-pull welding guns. As a genuine ESAB replacement part, this bracket is engineered to the exact dimensional tolerances required to maintain the structural rigidity and alignment of the torch's internal drive mechanisms.

Push-pull guns like the PKB series are complex electromechanical devices that rely on precise internal geometry to feed soft wires, such as aluminum, over long distances without buckling or bird-nesting. The bearing bracket plays a pivotal role in this system, acting as the foundational support for the rotating elements within the gun's handle or neck assembly. Over time, mechanical vibration, thermal cycling, and general wear can degrade these mounting points, leading to misalignment. Replacing a worn bracket with this authentic ESAB part ensures that bearings remain seated correctly, reducing friction and preventing premature failure of the drive rolls or motor components.

Procuring genuine OEM parts like the 0216549780 guarantees compatibility and ease of installation. Unlike generic alternatives, which may require modification or result in suboptimal fitment, this bearing bracket drops directly into place, minimizing downtime during repair cycles. For MRO managers and welding engineers, investing in genuine ESAB spares is a strategic decision that prolongs the service life of capital equipment and maintains the high-quality standards expected from ESAB welding systems. Ensure your PKB 250 and 400 units continue to operate at peak efficiency by utilizing only specified replacement components.

This component is manufactured from high-grade materials selected for their resistance to the harsh environment of the welding shop, including exposure to heat, spatter, and impact. By maintaining the correct tolerances, it helps prevent the 'slop' or play in the gun mechanism that can lead to erratic arc characteristics and inconsistent weld bead profiles. Keep your production line moving and your weld quality consistent with the ESAB Bearing Bracket PKB 250/400.
