21162 - ESAB Serrated Drive Roll 5/64-3/32 Inch

Stop Slippage with the Right Drive Roll

If you are running heavy flux-cored wire, you know that feeding problems are the enemy of productivity. The ESAB 21162 Serrated Drive Roll is built to solve that problem. Designed for 5/64" and 3/32" wires, this roll features aggressive serrations that grab the wire firmly, ensuring it moves from the spool to the gun with zero hesitation. Unlike V-groove rolls that rely on friction pressure—which can deform tubular wires—these serrated rolls use mechanical teeth to drive the wire forward, allowing you to use less tension on the pressure arm and preserving the roundness of your wire.

Consistent wire feeding is the secret to a stable arc and a clean bead. When your drive rolls slip, your voltage fluctuates, and you get burn-back or stubbing. By installing a fresh set of ESAB 21162 rolls, you ensure that your machine delivers wire at the exact speed you set, resulting in smoother welds and less spatter. These rolls are built tough to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, making them a reliable choice for welders who demand performance day in and day out.

Don't let worn-out equipment hold you back. This genuine ESAB replacement part is easy to install and instantly improves the reliability of your wire feed system. It is the ideal upgrade or replacement for welders working with heavy-gauge cored wires in structural or fabrication settings.
