OVERVIEW

Reliable Wire Feeding for Cored Applications

The Lincoln Electric KP4335-040C Drive Roll Kit is an essential component for welders utilizing .040 inch (1.01 mm) cored wires. In the world of industrial welding, the consistency of your wire feed system is just as critical as the power source itself. This kit is designed to replace worn or incorrect drive rolls in your Lincoln Electric wire feeder, restoring the precision and reliability needed for high-quality fabrication. When working with flux-cored or metal-cored wires, standard solid wire rolls often fail to provide adequate grip or, conversely, apply too much pressure that deforms the tubular wire. This kit solves that problem with a specialized V-Groove design tailored for cored applications.

Genuine Lincoln Electric parts are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring that your equipment operates at peak performance. Using OEM drive rolls like the KP4335-040C minimizes the risk of wire slippage, which can lead to burn-backs, erratic arcs, and frustrating downtime. Whether you are working in heavy construction, structural steel, or general fabrication, maintaining your wire delivery system is key to productivity. This kit includes the necessary components to set up your feeder for .040" diameter wire, allowing for quick changeovers and minimal interruption to your workflow.

At Josef Gas, we understand that having the right consumables and machine parts on hand is vital for your business operations. This drive roll kit offers the durability expected from Lincoln Electric, featuring hardened steel construction that resists wear even under heavy duty-cycle use. By ensuring positive traction on the wire, you reduce the strain on the feed motor and gun liner, prolonging the life of your entire welding setup. Upgrade or maintain your equipment with this specific drive roll kit to ensure every bead is laid down smoothly and efficiently.

FAQ

This drive roll kit is designed specifically for .040 inch (1.01 mm) diameter welding wire.

While it may physically feed solid wire, this kit is designated for "Cored" wire. Solid wires typically require smooth V-Groove rolls, whereas cored wires often use knurled or specific V-grooves to grip the softer tubular wire without crushing it. Using this on solid wire might mark the wire surface.

Standard V-Groove rolls are smooth and used for solid hard wires (like mild steel). V-Groove Cored (often knurled) rolls have teeth or a specific texture to grab the soft shell of flux-cored or metal-cored wires to push them without needing excessive tension that would deform the wire.

Yes, the KP4335-040C is a genuine OEM part manufactured by Lincoln Electric.

This kit fits Lincoln Electric wire feeders that utilize the KP4335 series drive rolls. Always check your wire feeder's manual or parts list to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Using the correct drive roll ensures the wire feeds smoothly at a constant speed. Incorrect rolls can cause wire slippage, bird-nesting (tangling), or wire deformation, all of which lead to poor weld quality and equipment downtime.

Typically, Lincoln drive roll kits include the necessary rolls for one wire drive assembly (often a pair, or a combination of drive roll and guide depending on the specific feeder design).
