375980-022 - Tweco .045 Cogged Drive Roll Kit for 2-Roll Feeders

Smooth Feeding for Better Welds

Is your wire slipping, stuttering, or birdnesting? It might be time to check your drive rolls. The Tweco 375980-022 Drive Roll Kit is the factory-correct replacement for your 2-roll feeder when running .045" (1.2mm) wire. Worn-out drive rolls are often the hidden culprit behind frustrating arc issues. If the grooves are worn smooth or the gear teeth are damaged, your machine can't push the wire consistently, leading to burn-backs and uneven welds.

This kit features cogged drive rolls, meaning the rolls have gear teeth on the edges that mesh together. This design ensures that both the top and bottom rolls spin in perfect synchronization, grabbing the wire securely and pushing it through the liner with authority. This is a huge upgrade over single-driven systems, especially when using the heavier .045" wire size often found in structural or heavy fabrication jobs.

Swapping out your drive rolls is one of the easiest and most effective maintenance tasks you can perform. Simply remove the old rolls, slide these new cogged rolls onto the shafts, and secure them. No more cranking down the tension knob to compensate for slippage—which only flattens your wire and ruins your contact tips. With the Tweco 375980-022 kit, you get smooth, reliable feeding so you can focus on laying down the perfect bead, not fighting your machine.
