KP502-052 - Lincoln Electric KP502-052 Drive Roll & Guide Tube Kit for LN-8/LN-9

Optimize Your Feed with the Lincoln KP502-052 Kit

Struggling with inconsistent wire feeding on your LN-8 or LN-9? The Lincoln Electric KP502-052 Drive Roll Kit is the solution you need to get back to smooth, reliable welding. Designed specifically for solid wire applications running .045" to .052", this kit eliminates the frustration of wire slippage and feeding interruptions that can ruin a perfect bead.

When you are welding in high-production environments, equipment reliability is everything. This kit includes not just the drive rolls but also the essential guide tube, ensuring your wire is perfectly aligned from the moment it leaves the spool until it hits the liner. The rolls are machined to grip solid wire firmly without crushing it, preserving the wire's geometry for optimal electrical contact at the contact tip.

Why Choose OEM Drive Rolls?

Using genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the KP502-052 guarantees a perfect fit for your LN-8 or LN-9 feeder. Generic rolls often lack the precise tolerances required for these industrial feeders, leading to premature wear and feeding hiccups. This kit is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, providing long-lasting performance that keeps your downtime low and your arc time high.

Installation and Usage

Swapping out your drive rolls is a quick maintenance task that pays huge dividends. Simply remove the old assembly, install the new guide tube and rolls from the KP502-052 kit, and adjust your tension settings. You will notice an immediate improvement in feed consistency, especially when running longer gun cables or welding in out-of-position scenarios where feed drag is higher.
