KP2200-2 - Lincoln Electric KP2200-2 Knurled Drive Roll Kit 1/16in Cored

Reliable Wire Feeding for Industrial Applications

The Lincoln Electric KP2200-2 Drive Roll Kit is an essential component for industrial welding operations utilizing 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) cored wires. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication and structural steel environments, these drive rolls feature a precision knurled surface. This texture is specifically designed to bite into the softer sheath of flux-cored and metal-cored wires, providing positive traction without crushing the wire or deforming its cross-section. This ensures consistent wire delivery to the contact tip, which is critical for maintaining a stable arc and achieving high-quality welds.

Manufactured from hardened steel, the KP2200-2 kit offers exceptional durability and resistance to wear, even under high-volume production schedules. The kit is compatible with a broad spectrum of Lincoln Electric wire feeders, including the industry-standard LN-25, LF-72, LF-74, and Power Feed series. Proper drive roll selection is a key factor in preventing feeding issues such as bird-nesting and slippage, which can cause costly downtime. By using genuine Lincoln Electric parts, operators ensure seamless compatibility and optimal performance of their welding equipment.

This kit typically includes two drive rolls, allowing for a complete replacement of the feed mechanism's contact points. Whether operating in a shop environment or on a field construction site, the KP2200-2 provides the reliability professional welders expect from Lincoln Electric products. Regular inspection and replacement of drive rolls are recommended to maintain peak equipment efficiency.
