0218510299 - ESAB A6 V-Knurled Drive Roll for Flux Cored Wire

Reliable Feeding for Tough Jobs

When you are running heavy flux-cored wire through an ESAB A6 system, the last thing you need is wire slippage. The ESAB 0218510299 V-Knurled Feedroll is built to solve exactly that problem. Designed for the welder who relies on their equipment to perform flawlessly shift after shift, this drive roll provides the grip necessary to push tubular wires through long cable assemblies and torches without crushing the wire. The V-Knurled design bites gently into the surface of the wire, providing positive traction that smooth V-groove rollers simply cannot match when it comes to cored consumables.

We know that in heavy industrial settings, downtime is the enemy. If your drive rolls are worn out or incorrect for the wire type, you spend more time troubleshooting bird-nests and burn-backs than you do welding. This OEM replacement part from ESAB restores your A6 feeder to factory performance. The hardened steel construction means these teeth stay sharp longer, resisting the wear and tear of aggressive industrial environments. Whether you are operating a sub-arc tractor converted for MIG or a dedicated heavy-duty wire feeder, this roll is the heart of your delivery system.

Installation is straightforward, fitting directly onto the standard shafts of the A6 feed unit. The key to getting the most out of this roller is setting your tension correctly. Because the knurled teeth provide such excellent grip, you can often run with less tension on the pressure arm compared to smooth rollers. This reduces strain on the feed motor and prevents the wire from flattening out, which ensures it passes smoothly through the contact tip. Better feeding means a more stable arc, less spatter, and a better-looking weld bead at the end of the day.

Don't compromise your automated or semi-automated welding setup with generic parts that might not fit perfectly. This genuine ESAB part ensures that your machine operates exactly as the engineers intended. Whether you are fabricating structural steel, pressure vessels, or heavy machinery, consistent wire feeding is the foundation of a good weld. Equip your A6 feeder with the 0218510299 V-Knurled roll and experience the difference that positive, reliable traction makes in your daily welding operations.
