OVERVIEW

Restore Your Welder's Functionality

When you are in the middle of a critical fabrication project, the last thing you need is a broken control interface on your welding machine. The Tweco 7977978 Output Control Knob is a genuine replacement part designed specifically for Tweco and Thermal Arc MIG power sources. Over time, knobs can become loose, stripped, or cracked due to the harsh environment of an industrial workshop. Losing the ability to fine-tune your voltage or wire feed speed can bring production to a halt or result in poor weld quality due to imprecise settings.

This replacement knob is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring a perfect fit on the potentiometer shaft. Unlike generic universal knobs that may slip or not align with the panel markings, this OEM part restores the look and feel of your machine to factory standards. It features a durable plastic construction capable of withstanding the heat, dust, and occasional impacts common in welding environments. The textured surface ensures you can grip and adjust the dial even while wearing heavy welding gloves.

Maintenance of your welding equipment extends beyond just the internal components. The user interface is your primary connection to the arc. A functioning output knob allows for the subtle adjustments necessary to control the puddle, manage heat input, and achieve the perfect bead profile. Whether you are replacing a lost knob or upgrading a worn-out one, this Tweco part is the reliable solution to keep your MIG power source running smoothly.

Key Benefits

  • OEM Quality: Guaranteed compatibility with specific Tweco/Thermal Arc MIG units.
  • Durability: Built to resist cracking and wear in industrial settings.
  • Precision: Ensures accurate parameter settings without slippage.

Don't let a small plastic part compromise your welding efficiency. Keep your equipment in top shape with genuine replacement parts from Josef Gas.

FAQ

This knob (SKU 7977978) is designed for specific Tweco and Thermal Arc MIG power sources. Please check your machine's parts manual to confirm compatibility.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco/ESAB replacement part, ensuring perfect fit and function.

Most of these knobs are push-on friction fits or secured by a small set screw. Remove the old knob by pulling or loosening the screw, then align and press the new one onto the shaft.

It is made from durable, high-impact industrial plastic designed to withstand workshop environments.

It is an 'Output' knob, which typically controls Voltage or Wire Feed Speed depending on the specific potentiometer it is attached to on your MIG welder.

The internal plastic fitting may be stripped, or the set screw is loose. Replacing it with this new knob usually resolves the issue.

It is not recommended. Shaft sizes and shapes (D-shaft vs. round) vary between manufacturers. Stick to the specified brand compatibility.

If the specific design for this SKU requires a set screw, it is typically included or the knob is threaded for one. Push-on types do not require screws.
