OVERVIEW

Get a Grip on Your Flux-Cored Welding

Frustrated with wire slippage or bird-nesting when running flux-cored wire? The ESAB Pressure Roll Flat Knurled (23612369) is the solution you need for smooth, uninterrupted welding. Designed for professional welders who demand reliability, this pressure roll features a specialized knurled surface that acts like tire treads for your welding wire, ensuring it moves consistently through the liner to the puddle.

When welding with flux-cored or metal-cored wires, using the wrong drive rolls can be a nightmare. Smooth rolls often require you to crank down the tension to get the wire to move, which crushes the hollow wire and causes it to drag or jam in the tip. This ESAB knurled roll solves that problem by providing mechanical grip through its textured surface. You can run with lighter tension settings, keeping the wire round and the feed smooth. This means fewer burn-backs, less downtime clearing jams, and a more consistent arc for better weld quality.

Key Benefits:

  • Positive Traction: The knurled teeth grip the wire securely, eliminating slippage even with heavy spools or long gun cables.
  • Wire Integrity: Prevents crushing of tubular wires, ensuring they pass through the contact tip smoothly for good conductivity.
  • Durability: Made from hardened steel to resist wear, even after running hundreds of pounds of wire.
  • OEM Fit: Genuine ESAB part designed to fit your machine perfectly without modification.

Don't let poor feeding ruin your welds. Upgrade your wire feeder with the correct rolls for the job. The ESAB Flat Knurled Pressure Roll is the professional's choice for running tubular wires efficiently and effectively.

FAQ

The knurling (textured surface) provides extra grip or traction on the welding wire. This is particularly important for flux-cored or metal-cored wires, allowing them to be fed without slipping and without requiring excessive pressure that could crush the tubular wire.

While it can physically feed solid wire, it is not recommended. The knurled teeth can dig into the solid wire, creating metal shavings that may clog the liner. V-groove rolls are typically preferred for solid wire.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring correct fitment and material quality for your ESAB equipment.

This roll fits specific ESAB wire feed units. Please check your machine's parts manual for part number 23612369 (or 023612369) to confirm compatibility.

In many wire feed systems, this roll applies pressure to the wire against the drive roll (or is part of a geared set) to ensure the wire moves forward. It is the component that transfers the clamping force to the wire.

This item is sold individually. Depending on your feeder's configuration (2-roll or 4-roll drive), you may need to order multiple units.

Using a smooth roll often requires higher tension to prevent slipping. This high tension can crush the hollow flux-cored wire, making it oval. An oval wire wears out contact tips faster and can cause feeding jams.
