0147579002 - ESAB A6 VEC Motor Worm Wheel Gear 672:1 Ratio

Genuine ESAB Replacement Worm Wheel for A6 VEC Motors

The ESAB Worm Wheel A6 VEC 672:1 (Part Number 0147579002) is a critical mechanical component designed for the maintenance and repair of ESAB's renowned A6 series of automated welding equipment. In the world of heavy industrial welding, particularly Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), the precision of the travel mechanism is paramount. This worm wheel acts as a key element within the VEC motor gearbox, translating the high-speed rotation of the motor into the high-torque, low-speed movement required for steady and consistent welding travel.

With a specific gear ratio of 672:1, this component is engineered to provide the exact speed reduction necessary for specific welding applications where control and stability are non-negotiable. Over time, internal gears within welding tractors and heads can suffer from wear and tear due to the harsh environments and continuous duty cycles typical of industrial fabrication. Replacing worn gears with genuine OEM parts like this worm wheel ensures that your equipment continues to operate within factory specifications, preventing slippage, erratic movement, or motor strain.

This worm wheel is compatible with the A6 VEC motor assembly found on various ESAB automation platforms, such as the A6 Mastertrac. Using authentic ESAB parts guarantees dimensional accuracy, material quality, and longevity. When your automated welding tractor requires drivetrain maintenance, choosing the correct gear ratio is essential to maintain the calibrated travel speeds displayed on your control units. This part restores the mechanical integrity of your drive system, allowing for the seamless production of high-quality welds.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of minimizing downtime in production environments. We supply genuine ESAB spares to keep your automation systems running efficiently. Whether you are rebuilding a vintage A6 tractor or performing routine maintenance on a fleet of SAW machines, this worm wheel is the exact replacement required for VEC units specified with the 672:1 reduction ratio.
