2075311 - ESAB .045 V-Groove Drive Roll

Precision Wire Feeding for Industrial Applications

The ESAB 2075311 Feed Roll is a critical component designed to maintain the integrity and consistency of the welding arc in MIG/MAG processes. Engineered with a specific V-Groove geometry, this drive roll is optimized for handling 0.045-inch (1.2 mm) solid welding wires, such as mild steel (ER70S-6) and stainless steel. The V-profile provides the necessary traction to push the wire through the liner and gun cable without deforming the wire's cross-section, a common issue when using incorrect roller types.

Manufactured from high-grade hardened steel, this feed roll offers exceptional durability and resistance to wear, even under high-duty cycle environments. Consistent wire feeding is paramount for achieving defect-free welds; worn or incorrect drive rolls can lead to micro-arcing within the contact tip, irregular bead profiles, and increased spatter. By ensuring positive engagement with the wire, the ESAB 2075311 minimizes slippage and ensures that the wire feed speed (WFS) set at the machine matches the actual output at the torch.

This component is designed for seamless integration with compatible ESAB wire feeding systems, ensuring correct alignment with the wire guides and inlet mechanisms. Regular inspection and replacement of feed rolls are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule to uphold welding quality standards.
