23612397 - ESAB .035 Upper Pressure Drive Roll Replacement

Keep Your Wire Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than pulling the trigger on your MIG gun and feeling the wire stutter, slip, or stop completely. Often, the culprit isn't the liner or the tip—it's a worn-out feed roll. The ESAB Upper Pressure Roll for .035" wire is the direct replacement part you need to get your machine feeding like new again. If you are noticing inconsistent wire stick-out or hearing the motor spin while the wire sits still, it's time to check your pressure rolls.

This roll sits on the top arm of your feeder assembly and clamps the wire down onto the drive gear. Over time, the groove can wear out or become clogged with debris, losing its grip on the wire. This replacement part (23612397) is built tough to handle daily welding jobs. It is designed specifically for .035" wire, which is the standard for many general fabrication and auto-body jobs.

Installation is simple and takes just a few minutes. Pop the tension arm, remove the old roll, and slide this new one in. Proper tensioning with a fresh roll means you don't have to crank the tension knob down as hard, which saves your motor and prevents the wire from getting flattened. Keep a spare in your toolbox so a $20 part doesn't hold up a $2000 job.
