KP655-052C - Lincoln Electric KP655-052C Drive Roll & Guide Tube Kit for .045-.052 Cored Wire

Lincoln Electric KP655-052C Drive Roll Kit Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP655-052C Drive Roll and Guide Tube Kit is a specialized component designed to optimize the performance of your wire feeding systems. Engineered specifically for industrial welding applications, this kit is essential for maintaining consistent wire delivery when working with cored steel wires. The kit is precision-manufactured to handle wire diameters ranging from 0.045 inches to 0.052 inches (1.2 mm to 1.3 mm), ensuring that your welding operations proceed smoothly without interruptions caused by feeding issues.

This 4-roll drive kit is compatible with a specific range of Lincoln Electric wire feeders, including the LN-9, LN-9 GMA, and the Synergic 7F and 7FH models. The 4-roll configuration is particularly beneficial for cored wires, which can be more susceptible to deformation than solid wires. By distributing the feeding force across four rolls rather than two, the system achieves positive traction without the need for excessive pressure that could crush or distort the wire. This results in a stable arc and high-quality weld deposits, critical for structural and heavy fabrication tasks.

Included in the KP655-052C package are the necessary drive rolls and guide tubes required for a complete setup or replacement. The guide tubes play a pivotal role in directing the wire accurately into the drive rolls and out to the gun cable, minimizing friction and preventing "bird-nesting" or tangling. Regular inspection and replacement of these components are recommended to ensure the longevity of your welding equipment and to maintain the high standards of Lincoln Electric performance.

For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), having the correct drive roll kit on hand is vital. Using mismatched or worn drive rolls can lead to slippage, erratic feeding, and ultimately, weld defects. The KP655-052C is built to Lincoln's exacting standards, offering durability and reliability in demanding shop environments. Whether you are setting up a new feeder or refurbishing an existing unit, this kit provides the precise fit and function needed for 0.045-0.052" cored wire applications.

Invest in genuine Lincoln Electric parts to ensure the safety and efficiency of your welding processes. The KP655-052C represents a small but critical investment in the overall productivity of your welding station, reducing downtime associated with wire feeding problems and ensuring that your LN-9 or Synergic series feeder operates at peak capacity.
