OVERVIEW

Restore Precision to Your Wire Feed System

The ESAB Wear Insert (0368643002) is an essential OEM replacement part engineered to restore the integrity of your wire drive assembly. In MIG and flux-cored welding processes, the stability of the arc is directly tied to the consistency of the wire feed. A worn or grooved insert can introduce drag or misalignment, causing micro-stoppages and fluctuations that affect weld quality. This genuine ESAB component is manufactured to precise tolerances to eliminate these variables.

Designed for compatibility with specific ESAB wire feeders, such as the Origo Feed and Aristo Feed series, this insert fits perfectly into the drive mechanism. It serves as the primary contact point for the wire as it enters or exits the drive rolls, guiding it securely and preventing lateral movement that could lead to feeding issues. Made from durable, wear-resistant materials, it is built to withstand the abrasive nature of steel, stainless, and aluminum wires.

Professional welders know that preventative maintenance is key to avoiding mid-weld failures. Inspect your wire path regularly and replace the wear insert if you notice deep grooving or deformation. Trusting genuine ESAB parts ensures that your machine operates at the factory-rated performance levels you rely on.

Technical Advantages

  • OEM Precision: Guaranteed fit for specified ESAB wire feeders, eliminating installation struggles.
  • Reduced Friction: Material composition is selected to minimize drag on the wire.
  • System Integrity: Maintains the correct alignment of the wire relative to the drive rolls and liner.

FAQ

The wear insert guides the welding wire through the feeder mechanism and protects the feeder housing from the abrasive friction of the moving wire.

Inspect the insert for deep grooves, cuts, or deformation caused by the wire. If the wire is snagging or the path looks worn, it is time to replace it.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM ESAB part, number 0368643002.

It is designed for various ESAB wire feeders, commonly found in the Origo Feed and Aristo Feed series. Check your machine's parts manual for specific compatibility.

Yes. A worn insert can cause irregular wire feeding, leading to an unstable arc, spatter, or burn-back issues.

Yes, it is typically a drop-in replacement part located within the wire drive assembly, accessible during routine maintenance.

While it guides the wire, for aluminum specifically, ensure you are also using the correct U-groove drive rolls and nylon liners downstream. This insert is generally compatible with standard setups.

It is called a wear insert because it is a sacrificial part designed to wear out over time instead of the expensive permanent components of the wire feeder.
