28Z85 - ESAB 28Z85 Pressure Spring for Wire Drive Assembly

Keep Your ESAB Feeder Running Smoothly

Is your wire feeder stuttering, slipping, or giving you inconsistent starts? Before you blame the liner or the contact tip, check your tension assembly. The pressure spring is the unsung hero of your MIG welder, responsible for clamping the wire between the drive rolls with just the right amount of force. The ESAB 28Z85 Pressure Spring is the genuine OEM replacement part you need to restore your machine's feeding performance to factory-new levels.

Springs wear out. It's a fact of life in the shop. After thousands of hours of being compressed and released, or simply sitting under tension, the metal fatigues and loses its "spring." When this happens, you might find yourself cranking the tension knob tighter and tighter just to get the wire to feed. This is a bad habit that can crush your welding wire (causing feeding issues in the liner) and wear out your drive motor prematurely. The smart fix is simple: replace the spring. This ESAB 28Z85 spring is designed to fit perfectly into your compatible ESAB wire drive, providing the correct tension without the guesswork.

Installation is typically straightforward and can be done during a standard drive roll change. By swapping out an old, tired spring for a fresh 28Z85, you ensure that your drive rolls grip the wire firmly but gently. This leads to a smoother arc, less spatter caused by feed fluctuation, and less frustration for the operator. Don't let a five-dollar part cause a five-hundred-dollar headache. Keep a spare 28Z85 in your maintenance kit and ensure your ESAB equipment is always ready to lay down perfect beads.
