KP4335-047S - Lincoln Electric .047 V-Groove Drive Roll Kit for Solid Steel Wire

Reliable Wire Feeding for Industrial Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric KP4335-047S Drive Roll Kit is an essential component for maintaining peak performance in your MIG welding operations. Designed specifically for industrial environments where consistency and downtime reduction are critical, this kit provides a robust solution for feeding .047-inch (1.2 mm) solid steel wires. In high-volume manufacturing and heavy fabrication, the integrity of your wire feeding system directly impacts weld quality and production efficiency. Worn or incorrect drive rolls can lead to wire slippage, bird-nesting, and irregular arc characteristics, all of which increase costs through rework and wasted consumables.

This kit features precision-machined V-Groove rolls. The V-Groove geometry is the industry standard for feeding solid mild steel and stainless steel wires. Unlike knurled rolls which dig into the wire, or U-groove rolls designed for soft aluminum, the V-Groove provides 4-point contact (in a 4-roll system) or 2-point contact that firmly grips the hard wire surface without deforming it. This ensures that the wire retains its round shape as it passes through the liner and contact tip, promoting better electrical conductivity and reducing tip wear. The rolls are manufactured from hardened steel, offering exceptional resistance to wear even under the high tension and speed requirements of modern automated or semi-automated welding processes.

Josef Gas understands that equipment reliability is paramount for our clients in construction, pipeline, and manufacturing sectors. By utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the KP4335-047S, you ensure compatibility with your existing Lincoln wire feeders, maintaining the manufacturer's specified performance standards. Whether you are welding structural steel, pressure vessels, or automotive components, consistent wire delivery is the foundation of a sound weld. This kit is easy to install, allowing maintenance teams to swap out worn rolls quickly and get production lines back up and running with minimal interruption.

Investing in high-quality drive rolls is a small cost that yields significant returns in process stability. The KP4335-047S is engineered to handle the rigors of daily industrial use, providing the traction needed to push wire through long gun cables and complex torch configurations without hesitation. Ensure your welding fleet is equipped to handle .047" solid wire applications efficiently with this durable drive roll kit.
