The ESAB 0558102386 is a specialized set of feed rolls designed for industrial wire feeding systems. This package contains a set of two drive rolls, engineered to accommodate 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) welding wire. The rolls feature a "VK" or V-Knurled groove profile, which is the industry standard for feeding tubular wires such as flux-cored (FCAW) and metal-cored (MCAW) consumables. Unlike smooth V-grooves used for solid wires, the knurled surface provides mechanical teeth that grip the softer, tubular wire shell, ensuring consistent feed rates without requiring excessive drive roll tension that could crush the wire.
These components are genuine ESAB OEM parts, manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure compatibility with specific ESAB wire feeders. The use of authentic replacement parts is critical for maintaining the warranty and performance standards of your welding equipment. The rolls are constructed from hardened steel to withstand the abrasive nature of knurled feeding and the high duty cycles often found in heavy fabrication environments. Proper installation of these rolls involves aligning them correctly within the wire drive assembly to prevent wire shaving and ensure smooth transit through the liner and gun.
When sourcing replacement parts for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), verifying the wire diameter and groove geometry is essential. This specific SKU is strictly for 1/16" wire; using it with smaller or larger wires will result in poor feeding performance. Similarly, using knurled rolls on solid hard wires is generally discouraged as it can create metal shavings that clog liners. This set is an essential inventory item for shops running heavy cored wires on ESAB equipment.
