OVERVIEW

Restore Precision to Your Wire Feed System

The ESAB 948370 Replacement Worm Gear is a critical mechanical component designed to maintain the integrity and performance of your ESAB wire feeding equipment. In the demanding world of industrial welding, the drive mechanism is the heart of your productivity. Over time, the constant friction and torque required to push welding wire through liners and torches can cause wear on internal gears. This specific worm gear is engineered to transfer rotational motion into linear force with high efficiency, ensuring that your wire feed speed remains constant and reliable.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting OEM specifications, this worm gear features precision-cut helical threads that mesh perfectly with the mating gear in your machine's transmission assembly. Using non-OEM or ill-fitting gears can lead to backlash, inconsistent wire feeding, and eventually, poor weld quality or burn-back issues. By choosing the genuine 948370 part, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment and ensuring that the mechanical reduction ratios function exactly as the engineers intended.

Installation of this component should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the gearbox assembly of your specific ESAB model. Whether you are conducting preventative maintenance or repairing a breakdown, this worm gear provides the durability needed to handle the mechanical stresses of daily welding operations. It is constructed from hardened steel materials to resist stripping and deformation under load.

Key Technical Benefits

  • OEM Precision: Designed specifically for ESAB drive assemblies to prevent mechanical binding.
  • Durable Construction: Hardened material withstands high torque and continuous operation.
  • Smooth Operation: Reduces vibration and noise within the feeder mechanism.

FAQ

It transfers rotational power from the motor to the drive rolls, allowing for the precise feeding of welding wire.

Signs include inconsistent wire feeding, grinding noises from the feeder motor, or visible wear/stripping on the gear teeth.

Yes, this is an authentic ESAB OEM replacement part, ensuring correct fit and material specifications.

This part fits specific ESAB wire feeders. Please consult your machine's breakdown manual or contact support with your serial number to confirm compatibility.

No, the gear is sold individually. You should apply the appropriate gear grease recommended in your machine's service manual during installation.

Installation involves disassembling the drive mechanism. It is recommended for experienced maintenance personnel or certified repair technicians.

It is manufactured from high-durability hardened steel to withstand the torque of wire feeding.

If the slipping is caused by stripped internal gears, yes. However, slipping can also be caused by worn drive rolls or liner issues, so check those first.
