870560PKD - Tweco 2R Drive Roll Plate Gear Replacement

Keep Your Wire Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than a wire feeder that stutters or slips right in the middle of a bead. Often, the culprit isn't the gun or the liner, but the internal mechanics of the feeder itself. The Tweco 870560PKD Drive Roll Gear is the replacement part you need when your 2-roll drive system starts losing its grip. This gear sits at the heart of the feed mechanism, transferring power to the rolls that push the wire through the torch. When it wears out, your wire speed becomes inconsistent, leading to burn-backs and uneven penetration.

This is a genuine Tweco part, meaning it isn't a cheap knock-off that will strip out in a week. It is built to handle the torque required to push solid and flux-cored wires through long cable assemblies. If you are noticing a grinding noise coming from your feeder or if the drive rolls seem to hesitate despite having the correct tension, it might be time to crack open the case and replace the gear. It is a straightforward fix that can save you hours of frustration and rework.

Don't let a small mechanical part compromise your welding projects. Keeping your wire feeder in top shape is essential for producing consistent, high-quality welds. With the Tweco 2R Plate Gear, you can ensure your machine feeds wire as smoothly as the day you bought it, letting you focus on the puddle rather than fighting the equipment.
