  • Patent number: 10486258
    Abstract: A wire feeder including a housing having wire inlet and outlet regions. In some approaches, a tensioning assembly includes a pivotable tension arm and a pivotable tension knob assembly. The pivotable tension arm has a pivot axis oriented perpendicular to the direction of a wire fed through the wire feeder, while the pivotable tension knob assembly has a pivot axis oriented parallel to the direction of the wire fed through the wire feeder. A roller assembly includes a drive roller rotatably coupled to the pivotable tension arm, and a feed roller coupled to the housing. The feed roller is positionable opposite the drive roller to receive a welding wire therebetween and to move the welding wire from the wire inlet region to the wire outlet region. A gear assembly transmits rotational motion from a motor to the feed roller.

  • Publication number: 20190344373
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wire feeder including a housing having wire inlet and outlet regions, a roller assembly, a gear housing, and a gear assembly. The roller assembly includes a drive roller and a feed roller that are coupled to the first side of the housing and feed wire from the wire inlet region to the wire outlet region. The gear housing coupled to a second side of the housing and the gear assembly is housed in the gear housing. The gear assembly is directly coupled to a drive motor and the feed roller so that the gear assembly transmits rotational motion of the drive motor to the feed roller, and the gear housing is sized so that the gear assembly can be formed from multiple different gearing arrangements to achieve a desired wire feed speed when feeding wire.
