0366966882 - ESAB 1.2-2.0mm Knurled Drive Roll for Flux-Cored Wire

Reliable Wire Feeding for Flux-Cored Applications

The ESAB Feed Roller NR3 1.2-2.0 VK (Part Number: 0366966882) is an essential component for welders utilizing flux-cored or metal-cored wires. In industrial welding environments, the consistency of wire delivery is paramount to achieving high-quality welds. This genuine ESAB drive roll is engineered to address the specific challenges associated with feeding softer, tubular wires that can easily deform under pressure.

Unlike smooth V-groove rollers designed for solid wires, this roller features a knurled (VK) texture. The teeth of the knurl bite gently into the surface of the wire, providing positive traction without requiring excessive tension arm pressure. This design prevents the wire from being flattened or crushed, which can lead to poor electrical contact in the contact tip and erratic arc characteristics. By maintaining the structural integrity of the wire, the ESAB NR3 roller ensures a smooth, stable arc and reduces the likelihood of burn-backs.

Designed to accommodate wire diameters from 1.2mm to 2.0mm, this versatile roller is suitable for a range of heavy-duty fabrication tasks. Whether you are welding structural steel or heavy equipment, using the correct drive roll is the first step in preventing feeding issues. At Josef Gas, we recommend pairing this roller with the appropriate wire guides and liners to maximize the lifespan of your welding equipment and consumables.

Investing in genuine ESAB parts guarantees compatibility with your existing wire feeder setup. The hardened steel construction offers excellent wear resistance, ensuring that the knurling remains sharp and effective over long periods of continuous use. Keep your production line moving and your welds consistent with this high-performance feed roller.
