23612398 - ESAB Feed Roll Retaining Screw 23612398

Keep Your Wire Running Smoothly

Every welder knows the frustration of a wire feeder that just won't cooperate. You check your liner, you check your tip, but sometimes the problem is right at the drive rolls. The ESAB 23612398 Retaining Screw is the small but mighty part that keeps your feed rolls locked down and doing their job. If this screw is loose, stripped, or missing, your drive roll can wobble or slide out of position, leading to erratic feeding, slipping wire, and a sputtering arc that ruins your bead.

This is the genuine replacement screw for your ESAB wire feeder. It’s designed to fit perfectly, holding the roll tight against the drive mechanism so you get constant, reliable traction on your wire. Whether you are swapping out rolls to switch from solid wire to flux-cored, or changing sizes from .035 to .045, this screw is the key to the operation. Because it is an OEM part, you don't have to worry about cross-threading or damaging the expensive drive shaft of your machine—a risk you take when trying to force in a hardware store bolt that "looks close enough."

We recommend keeping a spare retaining screw in your shop or toolbox. These small parts are easy to drop and lose in a dark shop environment or a pile of metal shavings. Being down a simple screw can stop production on a machine worth thousands of dollars. Don't let a ten-cent problem cause a thousand-dollar delay. With the ESAB 23612398, you ensure your machine is ready to weld whenever you are.

Installation is straightforward and requires standard tools found in any welder's kit. Simply align your drive roll with the keyway or pin, insert the retaining screw, and tighten it down to secure the assembly. It’s a five-second fix that guarantees hours of smooth, trouble-free welding. Trust ESAB quality to keep your arc steady and your puddles wet.
