OVERVIEW

Genuine Lincoln Electric M15445-1 Spool Spindle for MIG Welders

Maintain the efficiency and reliability of your Lincoln Electric MIG welder with the genuine M15445-1 Spool Spindle Hub. This essential component is designed to mount 8-inch (200mm) diameter wire spools onto your welding machine, allowing you to utilize larger, more economical 10lb to 12.5lb wire packages. Whether you are replacing a damaged spindle or upgrading your machine's capacity, this OEM part ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance.

The M15445-1 spindle features a standard 2-inch diameter hub, which corresponds to the center bore of most medium-sized industrial wire spools. Proper mounting of the wire spool is critical for consistent arc stability; a worn or broken spindle can lead to irregular wire tension, bird-nesting, or erratic feeding that compromises weld quality. By using the authentic Lincoln Electric replacement, you guarantee that the braking friction and rotational stability meet the manufacturer's original specifications for the SP-135 and SP-175 series.

Compatibility and Installation

This spindle is engineered for a range of compact Lincoln Electric wire feeder welders. It is most commonly associated with the SP-135 Plus, SP-135T, SP-175 Plus, and SP-175T models. Additionally, it often fits various iterations of the Weld-Pak and Pro-MIG series that share the same internal chassis design. Installation is straightforward, typically requiring no special tools, allowing you to get back to fabrication quickly.

Key Technical Benefits

  • OEM Precision: Manufactured by Lincoln Electric to exact tolerances for seamless integration with the wire drive assembly.
  • Cost Efficiency: Enables the use of 10lb spools, which generally offer a lower cost per pound of filler metal compared to smaller 2lb spools.
  • Durability: Constructed from high-strength materials to withstand the weight of full wire spools and the heat of the welding environment.
  • Smooth Operation: Provides a concentric axis of rotation, minimizing vibration and drag on the wire feed motor.

Ensure your equipment operates at peak efficiency by choosing the Lincoln M15445-1. Trust Josef Gas for all your industrial welding repair parts and consumables.

FAQ

The M15445-1 is designed for Lincoln Electric SP-135 (Plus/T) and SP-175 (Plus/T) series welders. It also fits many Weld-Pak and Pro-MIG models that share the same chassis.

This spindle has a 2-inch diameter hub intended for 8-inch diameter spools, which typically hold 10 to 12.5 lbs of welding wire.

No, this item is typically the spindle hub itself. You may need to reuse your existing retaining hardware or purchase it separately if missing.

Yes, this is the genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part number M15445-1, ensuring perfect fit and durability.

No, 2lb spools usually have a smaller center hole and mount directly to the smaller shaft or require a different adapter. This hub is specifically for the larger 2-inch center hole found on 8-inch spools.

Erratic feeding can be caused by a worn spindle allowing the spool to wobble. Replacing a damaged M15445-1 spindle can often resolve tension and alignment issues.

Installation is generally tool-free or requires basic hand tools. It mounts onto the internal support shaft of the wire drive compartment.

It is manufactured from high-impact, durable industrial plastic designed to support the weight of a full wire spool.
