Lincoln Electric KP1696-035S Mig Welder Drive Roll 0.035in

Product Description

The LINCOLN ELECTRIC KP1696-035S is a MIG welder drive roll engineered for solid wire feeding applications. This component mounts inside the wire drive assembly of a MIG welding unit and controls the consistent, reliable advancement of solid wire electrode through the feed system. Designed for 0.035-inch solid wire, the KP1696-035S is a direct replacement or service part used by welding technicians and maintenance professionals performing wire feeder maintenance or machine rebuilds. Proper drive roll selection is critical to maintaining steady wire feed speed, minimizing birdnesting, and achieving consistent weld quality.

This drive roll is intended for use in MIG wire feeding systems that handle 0.035-inch solid wire. Typical applications include structural fabrication, general maintenance and repair welding, and production welding environments where solid wire processes such as ER70S-6 or similar electrodes are used. It is suited for both shop and field welding setups where Lincoln Electric wire drive equipment is in service.

Key Features

• Designed for 0.035-inch solid wire electrode compatibility
• Direct-fit service replacement for Lincoln Electric MIG wire drive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement drive roll for Lincoln Electric MIG welding wire drive systems using 0.035-inch solid wire.

Installation Notes

Drive roll replacement should be performed by a qualified welding technician or equipment service professional. Power down and disconnect the welding machine from its power source before opening the wire drive compartment. Ensure the replacement drive roll groove size matches the wire diameter in use before reassembly. Refer to the equipment service manual for proper drive roll tension settings to avoid wire deformation or slippage.
