OVERVIEW

Keep Your ESAB A6 Running Smoothly

For professional welders and fabricators relying on ESAB automation, the ESAB Feedroll Knurled 0.8-1.6mm A6 (Part #0146024880) is an essential spare part to keep on the shelf. The A6 welding head is a workhorse in the industry, often used for beam welding, tank fabrication, and other heavy structural projects. To maintain the high productivity these machines are known for, your wire feed system must be in top condition. This replacement drive roll is designed to fit perfectly into your existing A6 setup, restoring the reliable feeding performance you expect from ESAB equipment.

Why Choose Knurled Rolls?

If you are experiencing wire slippage or inconsistent arc starts, your drive rolls might be the culprit. This specific roll features a knurled texture, which acts like tire treads for your welding wire. It grabs the wire firmly to push it through the liner and contact tip without slipping. This is especially important in automated welding where the machine cannot "feel" the feed issues like a manual welder might. The knurled design is robust and effective for the 0.8mm to 1.6mm wire range, covering many common wire sizes used in structural steel fabrication.

Genuine Replacement Parts Matter

Don't risk your weld quality with generic parts that might not fit correctly. This is an authentic ESAB component, ensuring:

  • Perfect Fit: Slides right onto the drive shaft of A6 feed units.
  • Correct Geometry: The groove and knurling are optimized for the specified wire range.
  • Long Life: Made from durable materials to resist grooving and wear.

Application Versatility

Whether you are running solid wire or flux-cored wire through your A6 head, this roll provides the traction needed. It is compatible with various configurations of the A6 system. By maintaining a steady wire feed speed, you ensure that your voltage and amperage remain stable, resulting in uniform bead appearance and sound weld penetration. Replace your worn drive rolls today to prevent feeding issues before they stop your production line.

FAQ

This feed roll is designed for wire diameters ranging from 0.8mm to 1.6mm.

It has a knurled surface texture, which provides aggressive grip on the wire to prevent slippage.

No, this is specifically designed for the ESAB A6 series of welding heads and process controllers.

Knurled rolls provide better traction, which is critical for flux-cored wires or heavy-duty automated feeding where slippage must be eliminated.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB part, number 0146024880.

Replace the roll when the knurling becomes worn down and smooth, or if you notice inconsistent wire feeding despite correct tension settings.

Knurled rolls are generally not recommended for soft aluminum wire as they can deform it and cause shaving; U-groove rolls are typically preferred for aluminum.

No, this product is the feed roll only. Retaining screws or caps are usually part of the feed unit assembly.
