245465 - Miller Filtair 130 Replacement Speed Control Knob

Genuine OEM Replacement Component for Filtair Systems

The Miller 245465 Speed Control Knob is a critical replacement component engineered specifically for the Miller Filtair 130 fume extraction system. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, it is manufactured to the exact specifications required to interface correctly with the unit's internal speed control potentiometer. This ensures that the mechanical connection between the operator's input and the machine's electronic control system remains precise and reliable. The knob is constructed from high-density molded plastic, designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments where welding fume extractors are typically deployed.

Maintaining the integrity of control interfaces on safety equipment is paramount. The Filtair 130 relies on variable speed settings to allow operators to balance airflow requirements with noise levels and filter life. A damaged or missing knob can lead to the inability to adjust suction power, potentially compromising the capture efficiency of welding fumes or causing unnecessary wear on the motor by running at inappropriate speeds. This replacement knob features the correct shaft depth and keying to prevent slippage, ensuring that the visual indicator on the knob aligns accurately with the speed scale on the machine's faceplate.

Installation of the 245465 knob is straightforward, designed for a friction fit or set-screw attachment (depending on the specific revision of the Filtair 130 shaft) that requires no specialized tools or calibration. By utilizing genuine Miller parts, maintenance personnel ensure that the equipment remains compliant with original manufacturer standards. This component is essential for facilities maintenance teams looking to keep their fleet of portable fume extractors in fully operational condition, ensuring compliance with air quality standards and providing welders with the necessary protection against hazardous particulates.

In summary, the Miller 245465 offers a direct, high-quality solution for repairing damaged control panels on Filtair 130 units. Its durable molded construction resists cracking and wear, while its ergonomic design ensures that operators can easily make adjustments even while wearing protective gloves. Trusting OEM parts for repairs guarantees longevity and performance consistency across your welding safety equipment.
