0147018900 - ESAB VEC Gear Motor 42V 672:1 Ratio

Precision Drive for Welding Automation

The ESAB VEC Motor (Part Number 0147018900) is a critical component designed for high-performance welding automation systems. Engineered specifically for ESAB's range of automated welding tractors and heads, such as the A2 and A6 series, this motor assembly ensures the precise control of travel speed or wire feeding that is essential for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and heavy-duty MIG/MAG applications.

Operating at a safe and standard 42V, this DC motor features a base speed of 1000 RPM. It is coupled with a heavy-duty gearbox providing a reduction ratio of 672:1. This significant gear reduction translates the motor's speed into immense torque, allowing for steady, consistent movement even under heavy loads or when pulling thick welding cables. The reliability of the VEC motor series is paramount in automated environments where consistency directly impacts weld quality and deposition rates.

As an OEM replacement part, this unit guarantees seamless integration with existing ESAB control units and mechanical mountings. Utilizing genuine spare parts maintains the integrity of the equipment, ensuring that calibration settings remain accurate and that the machinery operates within its specified parameters. This motor is built to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of industrial welding environments.
