OVERVIEW

Keep Your Automatic Welder Running Smoothly

If you are operating ESAB automatic welding tractors or heavy-duty feed units, you know that consistent wire feeding is the key to a perfect bead. The ESAB Bogie No.3 (0366902882) is the genuine replacement part you need to maintain that consistency. Over time, the drive rolls and pressure mechanisms in your feeder can wear down from the constant friction of the wire. This wear leads to slippage, erratic feeding, and frustrating downtime while you troubleshoot why your arc is sputtering. Replacing the bogie assembly is a proactive maintenance step that restores your machine's feeding capability to like-new condition.

This particular bogie is designed to handle wires between 1.2mm and 2.0mm, covering a wide range of common welding applications. It features a specialized VK-Groove. Unlike standard smooth grooves, the VK profile is engineered to grip the wire securely. This is especially important when pushing or pulling wire through long conduits or when using stiffer wires that resist bending. The secure grip ensures the wire moves exactly when the motor turns, giving you precise control over your deposition rate. Additionally, the unit comes equipped with ball bearings (BB), which means the roller spins freely and smoothly, reducing the load on your drive motor and preventing the jerky feeding that can ruin a long automated weld.

Don't let a small part cause big headaches on your production line. Using non-OEM or worn-out feed parts can damage your wire, causing shavings that clog liners and tips. The ESAB Bogie No.3 is built to the exact tolerances required by your equipment, ensuring perfect alignment and pressure. Whether you are welding structural steel, pipe, or heavy machinery, this component helps you achieve the high-quality results ESAB equipment is known for.

Upgrade or repair your feed system today with the Bogie No.3. It’s a robust, reliable solution for welders who demand uninterrupted performance from their automated gear. Keep a spare on the shelf to ensure you are never caught off guard by a feed failure in the middle of a critical job.

FAQ

This bogie is designed for wire diameters ranging from 1.2mm to 2.0mm.

VK-Groove refers to the specific profile of the drive roll groove, designed to provide optimal grip for specific wire types, often combining features of V-groove and knurled designs for better traction.

Yes, the 'BB' in the product name stands for Ball Bearings, which are integrated into the assembly for smooth operation.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM part, number 0366902882.

It is typically used on ESAB automatic wire feed units, such as those found on A2 and A6 welding tractors and heads.

Worn bogies can cause wire slippage, inconsistent feed speeds, and wire deformation, leading to poor weld quality and arc instability.

While the size range may fit, VK-grooves are typically for harder wires. Aluminum usually requires U-groove rolls to prevent deformation. Check your equipment manual for specific aluminum recommendations.

It is sold as a single unit (1 per each).
