OVERVIEW

Fix Your Feed Issues with a Genuine ESAB Pressure Arm

Is your MIG welder sputtering or feeding wire inconsistently? The culprit might be inside your wire drive. The ESAB Pressure Arm (23612475) is the direct replacement part you need to get your machine running smoothly again. The pressure arm is the unsung hero of your wire feeder; it holds the idler roll down against the drive roll, pinching the wire just enough to push it through the liner to your contact tip without slipping.

Over time, the pressure arm mechanism can wear out, crack, or lose its ability to hold steady tension. When this happens, you'll notice your wire speed fluctuating even when you haven't touched the dial, or the wire might stop feeding altogether if there is a slight restriction in the gun. Trying to compensate by over-tightening a broken arm usually just crushes the wire (especially flux-cored or aluminum) and leads to more frustration. The best fix is a fresh, factory-original part.

This ESAB 23612475 Pressure Arm is built to the exact specs of your machine, meaning you won't have to struggle to get it to fit. It installs directly into the drive assembly, restoring the precise control you need for laying down perfect beads. Don't let a small mechanical part ruin your welds or waste your expensive wire.

Why Replace Your Pressure Arm?

  • Smooth Arc: Consistent wire speed is the key to a stable, spatter-free arc.
  • Prevent Birdnesting: Proper tension prevents the wire from tangling before it enters the guide tube.
  • Protect Your Wire: A functioning arm applies even pressure without deforming the wire cross-section.

Get your ESAB welder back to peak performance today. This replacement pressure arm is the reliable solution for professional welders who demand consistency from their equipment.

FAQ

The pressure arm holds the idle roll against the drive roll, creating the friction necessary to push the welding wire through the gun liner.

Signs include inconsistent wire feeding, wire slipping despite tension adjustments, visible cracks in the arm, or a loose mechanism that won't hold its setting.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by ESAB.

No, it is designed for specific wire feed assemblies. Please check your machine's parts manual or contact support to confirm compatibility with your specific model.

Absolutely. If the wire slips, the arc length will fluctuate, leading to spatter, burn-back, and poor fusion.

Installation typically involves removing the retaining pin or screw holding the old arm in the drive stand and swapping in the new unit. Always disconnect power before servicing.

Typically, the pressure arm is sold as the arm mechanism itself. Rollers are usually sold separately unless specified otherwise.

If the arm is new, check your drive rolls for wear, ensure the liner is not clogged, and verify you are using the correct size groove for your wire.
