0218810181 - ESAB A2/A6 Insulated Adjustment Knob

Restore Precision to Your ESAB Automation Systems

The ESAB 0218810181 Insulated Hand Wheel Top is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the renowned ESAB A2 and A6 automatic welding heads. In the world of heavy industrial welding, equipment like the A2 Multitrac and A6 Mastertrac are the backbone of productivity, handling submerged arc (SAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) with precision. Over time, manual adjustment controls such as hand wheels can suffer from wear and tear due to the harsh operational environment, including exposure to high heat, spatter, and mechanical stress. This genuine ESAB part ensures that your equipment remains fully operational and safe for your technicians.

This hand wheel is not just a simple knob; it is engineered with insulation properties that are vital for operator safety. When adjusting the vertical or horizontal slides of a welding head during a live operation or immediately after a weld, components can be extremely hot. The insulated design of this hand wheel top provides a thermal barrier, allowing operators to make necessary fine-tuning adjustments without the risk of burns. Furthermore, in electrical welding environments, maintaining insulation on manual controls adds an extra layer of safety against stray electrical currents.

Choosing genuine ESAB parts like the 0218810181 guarantees a perfect fit. Generic replacements may not mesh correctly with the adjustment screws or may lack the durability required to withstand the torque applied during slide positioning. This part installs easily, minimizing downtime and ensuring that your automatic welding tractor returns to service quickly. Whether you are maintaining a fleet of A2 tractors or a specialized A6 beam welding gantry, keeping spare adjustment wheels on hand is a proactive maintenance strategy that prevents minor breakages from halting production.
