KP1696-2 - Lincoln .040 Solid Wire V-Groove Drive Roll Kit for LN-25/Power Feed

Reliable Wire Feeding for Industrial Applications

The Lincoln Electric KP1696-2 Drive Roll Kit is an essential accessory for industrial welding operations utilizing .040-inch (1.0 mm) solid wire. Designed to maintain the efficiency and reliability of your wire feeding system, this kit is engineered to fit specific Lincoln Electric two-roll wire feeders. Proper drive roll selection is critical for minimizing downtime in high-production environments; using the correct roll size and groove type ensures that wire is delivered to the arc smoothly and consistently, preventing costly interruptions.

This kit is specifically packaged to provide a complete changeover solution. It includes two precision-machined drive rolls and a matching inner wire guide. By replacing both the rolls and the guide simultaneously, operators ensure that the entire wire path is optimized for the specific diameter of the wire being used. This proactive maintenance approach helps extend the lifespan of the welding gun liner and contact tips by reducing friction and shaving caused by improper feeding mechanisms.

Compatibility is a key feature of the KP1696-2. It is designed for use with popular Lincoln Electric feeder models, including the rugged LN-25X and LN-25 PRO series, as well as Power Feed and Active8X units. Whether you are outfitting a mobile welding rig for field repairs or setting up a station in a fabrication shop, this drive roll kit ensures your equipment is ready to handle solid mild steel or stainless steel wire with precision. Investing in genuine Lincoln Electric parts guarantees fitment and performance, keeping your operations running smoothly.

For procurement managers and shop foremen, keeping a stock of these drive roll kits ensures that switching between wire sizes or replacing worn components can be done immediately. The KP1696-2 represents a standard of quality and reliability synonymous with the Lincoln Electric brand, making it a smart choice for any facility relying on MIG welding processes.
