WE05600165 - ESAB M4 Z22 Drive Pinion Gear

Precision Drive Components for ESAB Automation

The ESAB Pinion M 4 Z 22 (SKU: WE05600165) is a critical mechanical replacement component designed for the drive systems of ESAB's industrial automation machinery. In the world of automated welding and cutting, the accuracy of movement is paramount. This pinion gear serves as the interface between the machine's motor drive and the linear motion system, typically a rack-and-pinion setup found on large gantry cutting tables or welding tractors.

Manufactured to exact OEM specifications, this gear features a Module 4 (M4) tooth profile. The module represents the ratio of the pitch diameter to the number of teeth, a standard metric sizing that ensures the gear meshes perfectly with the corresponding rack. With 22 teeth (Z22), this pinion is engineered to deliver the specific torque and speed reduction required for the machine's designed travel speed and positioning resolution. Using a generic gear with incorrect tolerances can lead to accelerated wear, increased backlash, and ultimately, cut parts that drift out of tolerance.

Regular maintenance of drive systems is essential for longevity. Over time, pinions can wear down due to dust, debris, and constant friction. Replacing a worn pinion with this genuine ESAB part restores the tight mechanical coupling needed for smooth, jitter-free motion. Whether you are maintaining a shape-cutting machine or a specialized welding automation rig, trusting genuine ESAB parts ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak performance levels, minimizing downtime and maintaining the high quality of your output.
