0558102381 - ESAB V-Knurled Drive Roll Set 5/64-3/32 Inch

Heavy-Duty ESAB Wire Feeding Solutions

The ESAB 0558102381 Feed Roll Set is a critical component for industrial welding operations utilizing large diameter flux-cored or metal-cored wires. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication, these drive rolls are precision-manufactured to handle 5/64-inch (2.0mm) and 3/32-inch (2.4mm) wires with exceptional reliability. In high-volume production environments, the consistency of wire delivery is paramount to maintaining weld quality and structural integrity. These rolls are designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible ESAB wire feeders, ensuring that your equipment operates at peak efficiency.

The defining feature of this set is the V-Knurled (VK) groove design. Unlike smooth V-grooves used for solid wires, the VK groove features small teeth that bite gently into the surface of the wire. This provides the necessary traction to push softer, tubular wires through the liner and gun cable without requiring excessive drive roll tension. Excessive tension on cored wires can deform the tubular shape, leading to feeding issues, liner wear, and poor electrical contact at the contact tip. By utilizing these specialized knurled rolls, operators can achieve smooth, slip-free feeding while maintaining the structural integrity of the wire.

This package includes a set of two rolls, allowing for a complete refresh of the drive mechanism in dual-drive systems or standard two-roll feeders. Regular maintenance and replacement of drive rolls are essential for preventing downtime. Worn rolls can cause wire slippage, erratic arc characteristics, and burn-back. Investing in genuine ESAB replacement parts guarantees that the tolerances and material hardness meet the original equipment specifications, providing long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments.

Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy machinery, or shipbuilding components, the ESAB 0558102381 Feed Roll Set delivers the grip and durability required for continuous operation. Ensure your welding parameters remain stable and your deposition rates high with this premium drive roll solution.
