OVERVIEW

ESAB 0445850034 Feed Roller V-K 1.8mm – Precision Drive Roll

Optimize your welding equipment's performance with the ESAB 0445850034 Feed Roller V-K 1.8/1.8. This high-quality replacement drive roll is manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, ensuring seamless compatibility with their line of industrial wire feeders. Specifically machined for 1.8mm diameter wire, this roller is an indispensable part for welders utilizing this specific wire gauge for their applications.

The feed roller utilizes a V-K groove geometry. In wire feeding mechanics, the groove shape is paramount to success. The V-K profile is typically designed to offer superior traction, often used in applications where positive grip is critical to prevent wire shaving or slipping. The roller is constructed from hardened steel, providing exceptional resistance to wear and abrasion over countless hours of operation. Its dual-groove configuration (1.8mm on both sides) offers a practical advantage: once the primary groove shows signs of wear, the operator can simply flip the roller to utilize the fresh groove, maximizing the component's service life.

Proper maintenance of the wire feed mechanism is often overlooked but is vital for weld quality. If you are experiencing erratic wire feeding or bird-nesting, checking and replacing your drive rolls is a primary troubleshooting step. The ESAB 0445850034 is the correct specification for 1.8mm wire setups, ensuring that the pressure applied to the wire is distributed correctly without crushing it. Trust in genuine ESAB parts to keep your production line moving efficiently.

FAQ

This feed roller is designed specifically for 1.8mm welding wire.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, number 0445850034.

It indicates that the roller has two grooves, both sized for 1.8mm wire, allowing the roller to be reversed to extend its life.

It features a V-K groove profile, which is designed to provide optimal traction for the specific wire type.

Feed rollers should be replaced when the grooves become worn, causing wire slippage or erratic feeding despite proper tension adjustments.

Generally, U-groove rollers are recommended for aluminum to prevent deformation. This V-K roller is likely better suited for harder wires or flux-cored wires. Check your machine manual for specific aluminum recommendations.

Installation typically involves removing the retaining mechanism (screw or cap) on the wire feeder drive shaft, sliding the old roller off, and sliding the new one on, ensuring the keyway aligns if applicable.

It fits specific ESAB wire feeder models that utilize this style of roller. Please verify compatibility with your specific feeder's parts list.
