The Lincoln Electric KP52079-062C Drive Roll Kit is a specialized accessory designed to optimize the performance of your Lincoln wire feeder when using .062-inch (1.6mm) tubular welding wires. In industrial welding environments, the consistency of wire delivery is critical to maintaining arc stability and weld quality. This kit features precision-machined drive rolls with a knurled groove profile, specifically engineered to handle the unique mechanical properties of flux-cored and metal-cored wires.
Unlike smooth V-groove rolls used for solid wires, knurled rolls provide small teeth that grip the softer shell of tubular wires. This positive traction allows the feeder to push the wire through the liner and gun cable with consistent force without requiring excessive drive roll tension. Excessive tension on a smooth roll can crush a cored wire, deforming its shape and causing feeding issues or accelerated liner wear. The KP52079-062C eliminates this risk by relying on mechanical grip rather than friction pressure.
Manufactured from high-grade hardened steel, these rolls are built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty fabrication environments. They resist wear from the abrasive nature of welding wire and maintain their dimensional accuracy over long periods of use. Installing genuine Lincoln Electric OEM parts ensures that your wire feeding system operates within factory specifications, reducing downtime associated with feed failures and bird-nesting.
