0558102377 - ESAB U-Groove Drive Roll Set for Aluminum Wire (3/64" & 1/16")

Precision Aluminum Wire Feeding

The ESAB 0558102377 Feed Roll Set is a specialized accessory designed to optimize the performance of ESAB wire feeding systems when welding with aluminum. Unlike steel wires, aluminum is soft and susceptible to deformation if compressed too tightly by standard V-groove rolls. This set features a precision-machined U-Groove profile that cradles the wire, providing sufficient traction for feeding without altering the wire's cross-sectional shape or shaving the surface. This is critical for preventing liner clogging and ensuring consistent arc characteristics.

This set includes two rolls configured to handle 3/64-inch (1.2 mm) and 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) wire diameters, offering versatility for different welding procedures. Proper drive roll selection is the first step in troubleshooting aluminum feeding issues; by installing these genuine ESAB components, operators can significantly reduce the risk of "bird-nesting" at the feeder inlet and ensure smooth delivery through the MIG gun. These rolls are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure perfect alignment and fitment within compatible ESAB wire feed units.

Industrial environments demand reliability, and these feed rolls are constructed from durable materials to withstand the wear of continuous operation. Whether used in fabrication shops, automotive repair, or manufacturing, the ESAB U-Groove set is an essential component for any welder switching between steel and aluminum applications. Ensure your equipment is set up correctly for soft alloys with this OEM replacement kit.
