0218510287 - ESAB 5.0mm Drive Roll for Heavy Duty Feeders

Reliable Feeding for Heavy-Duty Welding

When you are running 3/16 inch (5.0mm) wire, you are likely tackling some of the toughest jobs in the shop—structural beams, pressure vessels, or heavy equipment repair. In these high-stakes applications, the last thing you need is your wire feeder struggling to push the consumable. The ESAB 0218510287 Feed Roll is designed to take that worry away. Built specifically for 5.0mm wire, this drive roll bites into the wire just enough to provide a smooth, consistent feed without slipping or chewing up the surface. Consistent feeding is the secret to a stable arc, and a stable arc is the key to passing X-ray quality welds.

We know that in heavy industrial environments, equipment takes a beating. Dust, grit, and heat are part of the daily grind. That is why sticking with genuine ESAB parts matters. This feed roll is made from hardened steel that resists wear, meaning you won't have to swap it out constantly. It maintains its grip shift after shift, ensuring that your deposition rates stay high and your voltage doesn't fluctuate due to feed speed variations. Whether you are setting up a Submerged Arc (SAW) tractor or a heavy-duty MIG station, this roll is the correct match for your 5.0mm setup.

Installation is straightforward, getting you back to welding quickly. Worn drive rolls are often the silent killer of weld quality; if you notice your wire hunting or the motor straining, it might be time to check your rolls. Replacing a worn groove with a fresh 0218510287 roll can instantly smooth out your operation. Don't let a small component cause big headaches on your heavy plate work. Equip your feeder with the right shoes for the job and keep that metal flowing smoothly.
