OVERVIEW

Restore Your Wire Feeder's Performance

Is your wire slipping? Are you constantly fighting with your wire feed speed or experiencing inconsistent arc starts? The issue might not be your settings or your liner—it could be a worn-out tension mechanism. The ESAB 0334161001 Excenter is the genuine replacement part you need to get your ESAB wire feeder back to running like new. This small but mighty component is the heart of your drive roll pressure system, allowing you to dial in the perfect grip on your welding wire.

We know that in a busy shop, equipment downtime is money lost. When the eccentric shaft in your pressure arm wears out, you lose the ability to accurately set the tension. This leads to the dreaded "bird-nesting" or wire that stutters and stops mid-weld. Instead of struggling with makeshift fixes or over-tightening the drive rolls (which only flattens the wire and ruins your liner), replace the worn component with this factory-original ESAB part. It is built to the exact specifications of your machine, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation.

Why Choose Genuine ESAB Parts?
Welding equipment takes a beating. Dust, grit, and constant mechanical movement wear down even the toughest parts over time. The 0334161001 Excenter is made from high-quality steel designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. It provides the smooth, progressive tension adjustment you expect from a premium machine. Don't let a ten-dollar part cause a thousand-dollar headache. Keep a spare excenter in your maintenance kit so you are always ready to fix a feeding issue on the spot.

Installation and Maintenance
Swapping out the excenter is usually a quick repair that can be done right on the shop floor. Once installed, you will notice an immediate improvement in how the pressure arm engages. You'll be able to set your tension lightly for soft aluminum or crank it up for solid steel wire without worrying about the setting slipping. Protect your investment and ensure your welds remain defect-free by maintaining your wire drive system with the correct ESAB components.

FAQ

The excenter acts as an eccentric shaft or cam that adjusts the pressure applied by the pressure arm to the wire drive rolls, ensuring proper wire feeding.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by ESAB.

If you cannot adjust the wire tension properly, the adjustment feels loose, or the wire slips despite tightening, the excenter or its mating surfaces may be worn.

This part fits specific ESAB wire feed units. Please check your machine's spare parts list or manual to confirm compatibility with part number 0334161001.

Yes, this part controls the pressure mechanism, which is critical for all wire types. Proper tension is especially important for soft wires like aluminum to prevent deformation.

No, this is typically sold as the individual excenter shaft. The pressure arm and other components are usually sold separately.

Slippage is often caused by worn drive rolls, a clogged liner, or insufficient tension. If the tension mechanism is damaged (like a worn excenter), it cannot apply the necessary force.

Installation is generally straightforward for those familiar with wire feeder maintenance, involving the disassembly of the pressure arm pivot point.
