0145538883 - ESAB 0.045-Inch (1.2mm) V-Groove Drive Roll

Precision Wire Feeding with ESAB Genuine Parts

The ESAB 0145538883 Feed Roll is a critical component designed to ensure the smooth and consistent delivery of welding wire in your ESAB wire feeder. Engineered specifically for 1.2mm (.045") diameter wires, this feed roll features a precision-machined V-groove that provides optimal grip on solid steel and stainless steel wires. By maintaining the correct traction, it prevents wire slippage and ensures that the wire feed speed remains constant, which is essential for achieving high-quality welds and maintaining arc stability.

Manufactured from high-grade hardened steel, this drive roll is built to withstand the rigors of industrial welding environments. Over time, feed rolls can wear down, leading to inconsistent feeding, birdnesting, or erratic arc performance. Replacing worn rolls with genuine ESAB parts restores your machine's performance to factory standards. The durability of the material ensures a long service life, reducing the frequency of replacements and minimizing maintenance downtime.

This feed roll is compatible with specific ESAB wire feed units designed to accept standard ESAB rollers. Proper installation is straightforward, allowing operators to quickly swap out rolls when changing wire sizes or performing routine maintenance. Using the correct size and type of drive roll is paramount; a 1.2mm roll perfectly matches .045" wire, preventing the deformation that can occur if an undersized roll is used, or the slipping that occurs with an oversized one. Trust in ESAB's engineering to keep your production line moving efficiently.

Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or performing precision stainless work, the integrity of your wire feed system starts with the drive rolls. Ensure your equipment operates at peak efficiency with this authentic ESAB replacement part.
