0146025882 - ESAB Knurled Pressure Roll for 5.0mm - 6.0mm Wire

Maximize Performance with Heavy-Duty Wire Feeding

When you are welding with massive wires in the 5.0mm to 6.0mm range, you are likely tackling some of the toughest jobs in the industry. Whether you are running a Submerged Arc setup or a specialized heavy MIG operation, the consistency of your wire feed is the heartbeat of your process. The ESAB Knurled Pressure Roll (0146025882) is designed to ensure that heartbeat never skips a beat. Unlike smooth rolls that rely solely on friction pressure, this knurled roll features a textured surface that actively grips the wire, pushing it through the liner and torch with unrelenting authority.

Slippage in the wire feeder is a welder's nightmare. It causes burn-backs, uneven bead profiles, and frustrating downtime while you reset the equipment. This is especially common with large diameter wires which are heavy and require significant force to unspool and push. This ESAB pressure roll solves that problem by providing a positive bite on the wire. The hardened steel construction means it stays sharp and effective shift after shift, resisting the wear and tear that destroys lesser components. It is the kind of reliability you need when you are laying down pounds of metal per hour.

Installing genuine ESAB parts protects your investment in your welding machine. This roll is drop-in ready for compatible ESAB feeders, meaning no fighting with fitment or alignment. It is a small component that plays a huge role in the quality of your final weld. By ensuring your wire speed matches your voltage settings perfectly—without the variables of slippage—you get a smoother arc, better penetration, and a professional result every time. Keep your heavy-duty operations running smoothly with the right drive gear for the job.
