OVERVIEW

Fix Your Feed Issues Fast

Is your wire slipping? Are you hearing the motor run but seeing the wire hesitate? You might need a new ESAB Pressure Arm (0558102331). The pressure arm is the muscle behind your wire feeder—it's the part that clamps down on the wire, ensuring the drive rolls can grab it and push it through the torch. When this part wears out, cracks, or loses its ability to hold tension, your welding frustrates quickly turn into a nightmare of birdnests and sputtering arcs.

We know that in the shop, time is money. You can't afford to stop every ten minutes to re-feed wire or adjust tension knobs that no longer respond. This genuine ESAB replacement arm is the exact part you need to get your machine running like new again. Because it is an OEM part, it drops right into place without any modification or "making it fit." It restores the firm, consistent grip your drive rolls need to feed solid or flux-cored wire smoothly, even through long torch cables.

Why replace the pressure arm?

  • Eliminate Slippage: A fresh arm applies the correct, even pressure across the wire surface.
  • Stop Burn-backs: Consistent feeding prevents the wire from stopping unexpectedly in the puddle.
  • Protect Your Drive Rolls: Proper tension prevents the rolls from grinding against the wire unnecessarily, extending their life.

Don't let a small plastic or metal part hold up your production. If you've noticed that tightening the tension knob no longer fixes the slip, or if the arm itself is visibly cracked or bent, swap it out immediately. This ESAB 0558102331 Pressure Arm is built to handle the daily grind of the welding shop. Pair it with clean drive rolls and a fresh liner, and you'll feel the difference the moment you pull the trigger. Keep your beads smooth and your downtime low with quality replacement parts.

FAQ

The pressure arm holds the pressure roll (idler roll) against the drive roll, clamping the welding wire between them to ensure it feeds smoothly into the torch liner.

Yes, this is the genuine OEM ESAB Pressure Arm, part number 0558102331.

Signs of failure include visible cracks in the arm, inability to apply sufficient tension to the wire (slipping), or the arm feeling loose/wobbly in its mount.

Typically, the pressure arm is sold as the arm mechanism itself. The pressure roll (bearing) is often a separate component or transferred from the old assembly unless specified otherwise.

No, it is specific to certain ESAB wire feed units. Please check your machine's parts manual or the schematic for the wire drive assembly to confirm part number 0558102331.

Yes. If the arm cannot hold consistent pressure, the wire may slip and then suddenly grab, or the operator may over-tighten it to compensate, leading to deformation and birdnesting at the inlet guide.

ESAB pressure arms are typically made from high-strength industrial composite or metal, depending on the specific generation of the feeder, designed to resist durability and heat.

Installation usually involves removing the retention pin or screw holding the old arm, transferring any necessary springs or rolls, and securing the new arm in place. Always disconnect power before servicing.
