0558102448 - ESAB Aluminum Outlet Guide .030-3/64

Precision Aluminum Wire Feeding Solution

The ESAB Outlet Guide (Part Number 0558102448) is a critical component designed to facilitate the smooth transfer of aluminum welding wire from the drive rolls into the gun liner. Engineered specifically for wire diameters ranging from .030" (0.8mm) to 3/64" (1.2mm), this guide addresses the unique challenges associated with feeding soft alloys.

Aluminum wire lacks the columnar strength of steel, making it highly susceptible to buckling or "birdnesting" if unsupported, particularly in the gap between the drive rolls and the conduit. This outlet guide bridges that gap with tight tolerances, ensuring the wire remains aligned and supported under the push force of the feeder. By minimizing friction and eliminating space for the wire to deflect, it ensures consistent arc stability and reduces downtime caused by feed failures.

Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous standards, this component is essential for industrial fabrication environments where aluminum MIG welding is performed. Regular inspection and replacement of the outlet guide are recommended to maintain optimal system performance, as wear can lead to increased friction and erratic feeding.
