0369557005 - ESAB Knurled Drive Roll 1.4mm-1.6mm for Flux Cored Wire

Optimized Wire Feeding for Industrial Applications

The ESAB 0369557005 Feed Roll is a critical component for maintaining high-efficiency welding operations using tubular wires. Engineered with a precision knurled surface, this drive roll is specifically designed to handle 1.4mm (0.052 inch) and 1.6mm (1/16 inch) diameter wires. In industrial environments where flux-cored (FCAW) and metal-cored (MCAW) welding processes are prevalent, ensuring consistent wire delivery is paramount to weld quality and productivity.

Unlike smooth V-groove rolls which rely on friction and high tension that can deform softer tubular wires, this knurled roll utilizes mechanical teeth to grip the wire casing. This design allows for lower tension settings on the drive mechanism, reducing wear on the feeder motor and liner while ensuring positive forward movement. This is particularly important in automated or semi-automated setups where wire slippage can lead to burn-backs, arc instability, and costly downtime.

As a genuine ESAB replacement part, this feed roll is manufactured to exact tolerances to fit specific ESAB wire feeding systems. The use of hardened steel in its construction ensures resistance to wear, maintaining the integrity of the knurling over extended periods of heavy use. Maintenance personnel and procurement specialists can rely on this component to restore factory-level performance to their welding equipment.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Positive Traction: Eliminates slippage on flux-cored and metal-cored wires.
• Wire Integrity: Prevents crushing of tubular wires compared to over-tightened smooth rolls.
• Compatibility: Direct fit for designated ESAB wire feeders requiring 1.4-1.6mm setups.
