OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Superior Arc Stability

As a welder, you know that a stable arc starts at the wire feeder. If your wire isn't feeding consistently, your puddle control suffers, spatter increases, and your bead profile degrades. The ESAB 2075545 Feed Roll is designed to solve these problems for welders running 0.045-inch solid wire. This drive roll features a flat groove, which is specifically engineered to grip solid steel or stainless steel wire firmly without shaving off metal shavings or deforming the wire shape.

Using the wrong type of roll—such as a knurled roll on solid wire—can create metal flakes that clog your liner and contact tip, leading to burn-backs and erratic feeding. Conversely, using a worn-out flat roll will cause slippage, forcing you to crank down the tensioner, which can crush the wire and strain the feed motor. This 1-1/2 inch outer diameter roll is the fresh start your feeder needs. It provides the perfect balance of grip and smooth delivery, allowing you to set your tension correctly: just tight enough to feed, but loose enough to slip if the wire hits an obstruction.

Installation is straightforward for compatible ESAB systems. Simply remove the old roll, clean the shaft and surrounding area of any dust or debris, and slide the new 2075545 roll into place. Ensure your wire guides are properly aligned with the groove to prevent shaving. Whether you are fabricating structural steel or performing precision stainless work, trusting your feed mechanism to a high-quality, hardened steel drive roll allows you to focus on what matters most: laying down a perfect weld.

Technical Advantages for the Operator

  • Optimized Geometry: Flat groove is perfectly sized for .045" wire, preventing "wandering" within the groove.
  • Reduced Wear: Smooth surface finish minimizes abrasion on the wire, extending liner and tip life.
  • Consistent Performance: Hardened steel construction maintains groove dimensions over time, ensuring reliable traction shift after shift.

FAQ

This feed roll is designed specifically for 0.045-inch (1.2mm) solid welding wires, such as mild steel (ER70S-6) or stainless steel.

It is not recommended. Flux-cored wires typically require knurled drive rolls to grip the softer, tubular wire without crushing it. Using a flat roll may result in slippage.

The outer diameter of this feed roll is 1-1/2 inches. Please verify your wire feeder requires this specific dimension before purchasing.

Signs of wear include visible grooves or ridges inside the feed channel, inability to maintain wire traction without excessive tension, or erratic wire feeding despite a clean liner.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring proper fit and material quality for your ESAB equipment.

No. Aluminum wire is soft and requires U-groove drive rolls to prevent deformation and shaving. This flat groove roll is for harder solid wires.

This product is typically sold individually (1 per each). If your feeder requires a two-roll or four-roll system, you will need to order the appropriate quantity.

Set the tension just tight enough to feed the wire while welding. A common test is to feed wire against a non-conductive surface; the rolls should slip rather than bird-nest if the wire is blocked.
