0218522484 - ESAB 2.0mm 5/64 Inch Replacement Drive Roll

Keep Your Wire Running Smoothly

Every welder knows the frustration of a wire feeder that just won't cooperate. Slipping wire, inconsistent speeds, and the dreaded bird-nesting can bring a project to a grinding halt. Often, the culprit is simply a worn-out drive roll. The ESAB 0218522484 Feed Roll Twin is the direct replacement you need if you are running 2.0mm (5/64") wire in your ESAB machine. Designed to grip the wire firmly without crushing it, this roll restores the smooth, reliable feeding you expect from your equipment.

This feed roll is sized specifically for 5/64-inch wire, a common size for heavy structural welding and flux-cored applications. Using the wrong size roll—or one that has lost its groove definition—forces you to crank down the tensioner, which only strains the motor and deforms the wire. With a fresh ESAB drive roll, you can set the tension correctly, ensuring the wire feeds consistently from the spool to the puddle. This consistency allows you to focus on your travel speed and gun angle rather than fighting the machine.

The "Twin" design offers excellent value, providing two usable grooves on a single roller. When you notice the traction starting to fade on one side after miles of welding, simply flip the roll over to engage the fresh groove. It's like getting two parts in one. Made from durable, hardened steel, this roll resists wear and maintains its shape even under the high torque requirements of feeding heavy wire.

Don't let a small consumable compromise your weld quality. If your wire is stuttering or you are seeing burn-back issues, check your drive rolls. Upgrading to a new ESAB 0218522484 Feed Roll is a quick, affordable maintenance step that pays off immediately in smoother operation and better welds. Keep your ESAB feeder running like new with genuine replacement parts designed for the job.
