W4017011 - Lincoln Electric V-Groove Drive Roll Kit .045-1/16 Solid Wire

Precision Wire Feeding for Solid Wire Applications

The Lincoln Electric W4017011 Drive Roll Kit is a critical component for maintaining the performance and reliability of your Lincoln Electric wire feeder. Designed specifically for industrial welding environments, this kit includes a set of two drive rolls engineered with a V-Groove geometry. V-Groove rolls are the industry standard for feeding solid welding wires, such as mild steel and stainless steel, as they provide the necessary traction to push the wire through the liner and gun without crushing or deforming the wire cross-section.

This particular kit is versatile, featuring grooves for two distinct wire diameters: .045" (1.2 mm) and 1/16" (1.6 mm). This dual-configuration allows welders to switch between wire sizes relatively quickly by reversing or changing the roll setup, depending on the specific feeder model. Manufactured from high-quality hardened steel, these rolls resist wear from the constant friction of the moving wire, ensuring a long operational lifespan and reducing downtime associated with maintenance.

Proper drive roll selection is essential for arc stability. Worn or incorrect rolls can lead to erratic feeding, burn-backs, and poor weld quality. By using genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the W4017011, operators ensure seamless compatibility with their equipment and consistent wire delivery speeds.
