OVERVIEW

Keep Your ESAB Feeder Running at Peak Performance

Downtime is the enemy of productivity in any welding shop, and often, the smallest components cause the biggest headaches. The ESAB 23602072 Drive Roll is an essential replacement part for maintaining the reliability of your ESAB MIG welding equipment. When your wire feeder starts slipping, or the arc becomes unstable due to inconsistent feeding, the drive roll is often the culprit. Worn-out rollers lose their grip, leading to erratic wire speeds that frustrate welders and compromise weld quality.

This genuine ESAB replacement part is built to handle the rigors of daily industrial use. Unlike cheap knock-offs that may fit poorly or wear out quickly, the 23602072 is engineered to the original factory specifications. This means it fits perfectly onto the drive shaft, aligns correctly with the inlet and outlet guides, and provides the precise traction needed to push welding wire through the gun cable—even in long-reach applications. Investing in OEM parts protects your larger equipment investment by preventing strain on the feed motor caused by jams or excessive friction.

Replacing your drive rolls should be a standard part of your preventative maintenance schedule. If you notice piles of metal shavings under the feeder (indicating the wire is being shaved) or if you have to crank the tension knob tighter and tighter to get the wire to move, it is time for a new set. The ESAB 23602072 is designed for easy installation, so you can get back to welding in minutes. It is compatible with specific ESAB wire feeders, so be sure to check your machine's manual or parts list to confirm this is the correct roller for your setup.

Don't let a worn-out $50 part hold up a $50,000 job. Keep a spare ESAB 23602072 Drive Roll in your maintenance kit to ensure your production line never stops due to a feeding failure. Reliable feeding means better welds, less rework, and happier welders.

FAQ

Signs of wear include visible grooves losing their shape, the wire slipping despite correct tension, or the accumulation of metal shavings near the feeder. If you cannot achieve consistent feeding without overtightening the tensioner, replace the roll.

Yes, the ESAB 23602072 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer part manufactured by ESAB.

Using a drive roll that is too large for the wire will cause slippage. Using one that is too small can crush or deform the wire, leading to feeding issues inside the liner and poor electrical contact at the tip.

Drive rolls are typically specific to wire material. V-grooves are for hard wires (steel), while U-grooves are for soft wires (aluminum). Check your specific machine manual to confirm if part 23602072 corresponds to the groove geometry required for your wire type.

Installation typically involves releasing the tension arm, unscrewing the retaining cap or screw on the drive hub, removing the old roll, sliding the new one in place (ensuring keyway alignment), and re-securing the retainer.

Typically, this part number refers to a single roll. Most feeders require a set (a drive roll and a pressure roll, or two geared drive rolls). Please verify if your system requires matched pairs.

OEM parts guarantee the correct hardness and dimensional tolerances. Poorly made aftermarket rolls can be too soft (wearing out fast) or have sharp edges that shave the wire, clogging your liner.
