The Lincoln Electric Control Cable Assembly (SKU: CK1797-10, comparable to K1797-10) is an essential component for integrating semi-automatic wire feeders with compatible power sources. Designed for industrial reliability, this 10-foot cable assembly facilitates the accurate transmission of control signals, including contactor closure, voltage sensing, and wire feed speed adjustments. The integrity of these signals is paramount for maintaining arc stability and weld quality in high-production environments.
Constructed with a heavy-duty outer jacket, this cable is engineered to resist the rigors of the shop floor, including exposure to sparks, abrasion, oil, and grease. The assembly features industry-standard 14-pin Amphenol-style connectors—one male and one female—allowing for a secure, plug-and-play connection between the wire feeder and the power source. The connectors are equipped with threaded locking rings that ensure the cable remains firmly seated during operation, preventing intermittent faults caused by vibration or movement.
This cable is specifically designed for use with Lincoln Electric equipment requiring 14-pin connectivity, such as the LF-72, LF-74, and Flex Feed series feeders when paired with Power Wave, CV, or DC-series power sources. The 10-foot length provides sufficient reach for standard bench-top setups or boom-mounted feeders where the power source is located in close proximity. By utilizing high-quality copper conductors and robust insulation, the CK1797-10 minimizes voltage drop and signal interference, ensuring that the parameters set at the feeder are perfectly communicated to the power source.
Regular inspection and replacement of control cables are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. Damaged cables can lead to erratic wire feeding, loss of arc control, or complete system failure. Investing in a genuine or high-quality replacement ensures your welding cell operates at peak efficiency with minimal downtime.
