KP655-035S - Lincoln Electric KP655-035S Drive Roll & Guide Tube Kit for .035 Solid Wire

Optimize Your Wire Feeding System

The Lincoln Electric KP655-035S Drive Roll Kit is an essential maintenance component for professional welders utilizing specific Lincoln wire feeders. Designed with precision engineering, this kit is tailored explicitly for handling 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) solid steel wire. Proper wire feeding is critical to maintaining a stable arc and achieving high-quality welds; using the correct drive rolls minimizes wire slippage and deformation, which are common causes of feeding issues and arc instability.

This kit is a 4-roll configuration, providing superior traction compared to 2-roll systems. By distributing the gripping force across four points, the drive rolls can feed the wire smoothly without requiring excessive pressure that might flatten or distort the wire shape. This is particularly important for maintaining the integrity of the wire coating and ensuring consistent electrical contact at the contact tip.

Compatibility and Installation

The KP655-035S is engineered for seamless compatibility with several legacy and current Lincoln Electric wire feeders. It fits the LN-7, LN-9 GMA, LN-742, and Synergic 7 models. The kit is comprehensive, including not just the drive rolls but also the necessary guide tubes. Replacing the guide tubes simultaneously with the drive rolls is a best practice that prevents wire shaving and drag, further enhancing the reliability of your welding operation.

Industrial Reliability

Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's high standards, these components are built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Whether used in heavy fabrication, automotive manufacturing, or general maintenance, ensuring your feeder is equipped with fresh, size-specific drive rolls is the first step toward defect-free welding. This kit simplifies inventory by bundling the essential wear parts needed for a wire size changeover or routine maintenance interval.
