OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

This kit features V-Groove rolls, which are designed specifically for solid wires such as mild steel and stainless steel.

It is not recommended. Flux-cored wires typically require knurled drive rolls (K-Groove) to grip the softer wire without crushing it. V-Groove rolls may cause slippage with flux-cored wire.

This kit supports .045" (1.2mm) and 1/16" (1.6mm) wire diameters.

The package contains a set of 2 drive rolls.

V-Groove rolls provide 2-point contact that grips the hard solid wire firmly without deforming its shape or shaving off metal coating, which ensures smooth feeding through the liner.

Yes, the W4017011 is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM replacement part.

If you have a 2-roll wire feeder, one kit is sufficient. If you have a 4-roll wire feeder, you will typically need two of these kits to replace all rolls.
