23612369 - ESAB Flat Knurled Pressure Roll for Flux-Cored Wire Feeding

Precision Wire Feeding for Industrial Applications

The ESAB Pressure Roll Flat Knurled (SKU: 23612369) is a critical component designed to maintain the efficiency and reliability of your ESAB wire feeding system. In high-volume welding environments, the consistency of wire delivery directly impacts the quality of the weld bead and the stability of the arc. This pressure roll is engineered with a flat, knurled surface specifically tailored for handling tubular wires, such as flux-cored (FCAW) and metal-cored wires.

Unlike solid wires, tubular wires have a hollow core filled with flux or metal powder, making them susceptible to deformation if compressed too tightly by smooth V-groove rolls. The knurled texture of this ESAB pressure roll bites gently into the surface of the wire, providing positive traction without requiring excessive clamping pressure. This design prevents the wire from becoming oval-shaped or crushed, which can lead to feeding issues, liner clogging, and poor electrical contact at the contact tip.

Manufactured from high-grade hardened steel, this pressure roll is built to withstand the rigors of continuous industrial use. It resists wear from the abrasive nature of welding wires, ensuring a long service life and reducing maintenance downtime. Whether you are operating in heavy fabrication, shipyards, or structural steel environments, ensuring your wire feeder is equipped with the correct roll profile is essential for optimal performance.

This genuine ESAB replacement part ensures perfect compatibility with specific ESAB wire feed units. Using OEM parts guarantees that tolerances are maintained, preserving the alignment of the wire through the drive mechanism and into the gun liner. Invest in the correct tooling for your welding consumables to maximize productivity and minimize weld defects caused by erratic feeding.
