KP1886-1 - Lincoln KP1886-1 Knurled Drive Roll for SubArc 1/16-3/32 Wire

Lincoln Electric KP1886-1 Drive Roll for Submerged Arc Welding

Maximize the performance of your PowerWave AC/DC 1000 Subarc system with the Lincoln Electric KP1886-1 Knurled Drive Roll. In the demanding world of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), precision wire feeding is non-negotiable. This drive roll is specifically engineered to handle the substantial wire diameters typical of SAW processes, covering a range from 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) up to 3/32 inch (2.4 mm). The correct drive roll configuration is vital for achieving the high deposition rates and deep penetration that submerged arc welding is known for.

The defining feature of the KP1886-1 is its knurled groove design. Unlike smooth V-groove rolls used for smaller solid wires, knurled rolls provide aggressive traction. This is crucial when feeding heavier wires over longer distances or through complex torch configurations, ensuring that the wire speed remains constant even if there is slight resistance in the feeding path. Consistent wire speed directly correlates to arc stability and weld bead uniformity, making this component essential for code-quality work.

This drive roll is a direct replacement part for Lincoln Electric PowerWave AC/DC 1000 subarc wire feeders. It is designed for easy installation and long-term durability, reducing downtime for maintenance. Professional welders and fabricators rely on genuine Lincoln consumables to maintain the integrity of their welding systems. Ensure your setup is optimized for heavy fabrication tasks by utilizing the correct drive rolls for your specific wire diameter.
