23612348 - ESAB KSV 4030/182 Wire Feed Motor Gear Assembly 24VDC

Precision Wire Feed Motor for Industrial Reliability

The ESAB 23612348 Motorgear KSV 4030/182 (24VDC) is a critical replacement component designed to restore the functionality of specific ESAB wire feeding systems. In the realm of semi-automatic and automatic welding, the consistency of wire delivery is paramount to achieving a stable arc and defect-free welds. This motor gear assembly is engineered to meet the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring that torque, speed, and braking characteristics align perfectly with the machine's control logic.

Operating at 24VDC, this unit integrates the electric motor with a precision gearbox, designated as the KSV 4030/182 model. This integration ensures that the rotational force is effectively translated into the linear motion required to push welding wire through the liner and contact tip without slippage or hesitation. Using non-OEM motors in sophisticated welding equipment can often lead to calibration issues, where the wire feed speed displayed on the panel does not match the actual output, leading to burn-backs or stubbing. By utilizing this genuine ESAB part, maintenance teams can guarantee that the repair maintains the machine's calibrated performance standards.

The assembly is constructed to withstand the harsh environments typical of industrial fabrication shops. It features robust housing and high-quality internal gearing designed to resist wear over thousands of hours of operation. For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, sourcing the correct internal SKU (ESB23612348) ensures a seamless fit, reducing the time required for installation and troubleshooting. This component is essential for extending the lifecycle of older ESAB wire feeders that rely on the KSV 4030 architecture.

When diagnosing wire feed issues, if the control board is sending the correct voltage but the drive rolls fail to turn or turn erratically under load, the motor gear assembly is often the culprit. Replacing it with the 23612348 unit effectively resolves these mechanical failures, returning the welding system to full operational capacity.
