0193860109 - ESAB Reinforced Pressure Pin M8x16 for Wire Feeders

Technical Overview of the ESAB Reinforced Pressure Pin

The ESAB 0193860109 is a specialized Reinforced Pressure Pin designed for use in the wire drive assemblies of select ESAB welding equipment. Engineered with an M8 thread and a total length of 16mm, this component serves as a critical mechanical linkage within the pressure arm mechanism. Its primary function is to transfer and maintain the adjustable force required to engage the drive rolls against the welding wire, ensuring positive traction without deforming the consumable.

Unlike standard hardware, this pin is designated as "reinforced," indicating it is manufactured from higher-grade steel or treated materials intended to resist the constant vibration, torque, and mechanical fatigue present in industrial wire feeders. The precise M8 threading ensures a secure fit into the feeder housing or pressure arm, preventing loosening during operation. Maintaining the integrity of this pin is essential for the overall reliability of the wire feed system; a bent, stripped, or worn pin can lead to inconsistent wire speeds, arc instability, and eventual downtime.

This part is supplied as a single unit and is a direct OEM replacement, guaranteeing compatibility with the specific tolerances of ESAB wire feed units. It is recommended for maintenance personnel to inspect this component during routine service of the drive rolls and guides.
