2075299 - ESAB V-Groove Drive Roll 1/16" (1.6mm) for Solid Wire

Precision Wire Feeding for Industrial Applications

The ESAB 2075299 Feed Roll is a critical component for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of your MIG welding operations. Designed specifically for 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) welding wires, this drive roll features a precision-machined V-groove profile. V-groove rolls are the industry standard for feeding solid hard wires, such as mild steel and stainless steel, as they provide the necessary traction to push the wire through the liner and gun cable without deforming the wire's cross-section.

In industrial environments, consistent wire feeding is paramount to achieving high-quality welds. A worn or incorrect drive roll can lead to wire slippage, irregular arc characteristics, and burn-backs, all of which increase downtime and rework. This ESAB feed roll is manufactured from high-quality hardened steel to withstand the rigors of continuous use, ensuring long service life and maintaining tight tolerances over time. It is engineered to fit specific ESAB wire feed units, ensuring perfect alignment with the wire guide and inlet guides.

Proper tensioning is essential when using V-groove rolls; they rely on the shape of the groove to grip the wire rather than excessive crushing force. This design minimizes the creation of metal shavings that can clog liners and contact tips. By using genuine ESAB replacement parts like the 2075299, operators can ensure their equipment performs to factory specifications, providing smooth, uninterrupted wire delivery for superior arc stability.
