0218510298 - ESAB 3.2mm (1/8") Wire Drive Roll

Reliable Wire Feeding for Heavy Applications

The ESAB Feed Roll 3.2mm (1/8") is a critical component designed to maintain the efficiency and reliability of your heavy-duty welding operations. In industrial welding environments where large diameter wires are utilized—such as in Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) or heavy Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)—the integrity of the wire feed mechanism is paramount. This genuine ESAB replacement part (SKU: 0218510298) is engineered to precise tolerances to handle 3.2mm wire, ensuring that the filler metal is delivered to the weld pool at a consistent speed without slippage or hesitation.

Using the correct drive roll size is essential for preventing wire deformation and feeding issues. A roll that is too small can crush the wire, leading to flaking and liner clogs, while a roll that is too large will fail to grip the wire effectively, causing irregular arc characteristics. This specific feed roll is manufactured from high-quality hardened materials to withstand the significant mechanical stress associated with feeding heavy 1/8-inch wires. It provides the necessary traction to push heavy spools or drums of wire through the feeder system, maintaining the stability required for structural steel fabrication, shipbuilding, and hardfacing applications.

Regular inspection and replacement of feed rolls are vital maintenance practices. Over time, the grooves on drive rolls can wear down, reducing their grip and leading to erratic feeding. By choosing genuine ESAB parts, you ensure compatibility with your equipment and prolong the lifespan of your wire feeder. This feed roll is designed for quick installation, allowing operators to swap out worn components with minimal downtime. Whether you are running continuous automated welds or manual heavy-duty cycles, the ESAB 3.2mm feed roll delivers the performance professional welders demand.

Invest in the longevity of your welding equipment and the quality of your output. The ESAB 0218510298 feed roll represents the standard of quality expected from a world leader in welding technology. Ensure your heavy industrial projects proceed without interruption by maintaining your wire feed system with the correct, high-performance components.
