OVERVIEW

Miller V-Knurl Drive Roll - 3/16 in (4.8 mm) - 193701

Maximize the performance of your Miller wire feeder with the 193701 V-Knurl Drive Roll, specifically designed for 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) hard-shelled cored wires. In the world of heavy industrial welding, feeding large diameter wire requires robust and precise equipment. This drive roll features a knurled groove design that provides the necessary grip to feed heavy cored wires consistently over long distances, making it an indispensable component for high-deposition welding processes.

Optimized for Cored Wires
The "V-Knurl" designation refers to the textured surface within the drive groove. This texture bites into the hard outer shell of flux-cored and metal-cored wires, providing positive traction that smooth rolls cannot achieve. This is particularly important for 3/16-inch wire, which has significant mass and resistance. The knurling ensures that the feed motor's torque is effectively transferred to the wire, preventing slippage that causes wire stuttering and arc instability. This design allows for smooth, uninterrupted feeding without applying excessive drive roll tension that could crush or deform the wire.

Genuine Miller Quality
As a genuine Miller Electric replacement part, the 193701 drive roll is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. It is machined from hardened steel to resist wear from the abrasive nature of cored wires, ensuring a long service life even under high-duty cycle conditions. Using genuine parts guarantees compatibility with your Miller wire feeder, maintaining the manufacturer's specified alignment and feed pressure settings.

Application Versatility
This drive roll is ideal for applications involving heavy plate fabrication, structural steel, and other sectors where large diameter cored wires are standard. Proper wire feeding is the foundation of a good weld; by upgrading or replacing worn drive rolls with the Miller 193701, you ensure that your welding system delivers the consistent performance professional welders demand. Keep your operations running smoothly with high-quality components from Welders Supply.

FAQ

This drive roll is designed for 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) wire.

V-Knurl rolls are best suited for hard-shelled cored wires, such as flux-cored or metal-cored wires.

It is not recommended. The knurled surface can dig into solid wire, causing metal shavings to accumulate in the liner and potentially deforming the wire.

This product includes one (1) drive roll per package.

Large diameter wire like 3/16 inch is heavy and requires significant force to feed. The knurling provides the extra traction needed to prevent slipping.

Yes, the Miller 193701 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer part from Miller Electric.

Smooth rolls may slip on the hard shell of cored wire, leading to inconsistent wire feeding and unstable arcs.

No, aluminum wire typically requires U-groove rolls to prevent deformation and shaving. V-Knurl is too aggressive for soft aluminum.
