The Multiquip 08018 is a genuine OEM Piston Rod RW-1800 designed for a wide range of Multiquip diesel and gasoline arc welders and the RW1810 roller. As a factory-sourced component, 08018 is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by the original equipment, ensuring a correct drop-in installation without guesswork. This part is confirmed to fit the DLW300ES, DLW300ESA, DLW300ESA1, DLW400ES, DLW400ESA, DLW400ESA1, DLW400ESA4, DLW500ESA4, DLW330X2, GAW180HE, GAW180HE1, GAW180HEA, GAC2.2HZ, DAW500SA4, and RW1810 models. Sourcing directly from DHS Equipment means you receive the correct Multiquip OEM part, backed by verified part number accuracy.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Machined to the original bore, stroke, and diameter specifications required by Multiquip equipment, ensuring proper compression and seal engagement.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Matches the original rod geometry and connection points for a straightforward swap with no re-machining or adapting of mating components.
- Broad Multiquip Fitment — Compatible with DLW, GAW, DAW welder series and the RW1810 roller; verify your model code against the confirmed fitment list before ordering.
- Restores Proper Compression and Stroke — A worn or damaged piston rod causes loss of compression, erratic operation, or complete mechanical failure; replacing it with 08018 restores the designed power stroke.
- OEM Part Number Traceability — Part number 08018 is sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts network, eliminating substitution risk when ordering.
A piston rod transmits the reciprocating force generated by combustion or mechanical drive to the piston, converting linear motion into usable mechanical work within the engine or pump cylinder. It must maintain precise alignment between the crankshaft and piston to sustain proper compression ratios and efficient power transfer. When a piston rod bends, cracks, or wears at its bearing surfaces, the result is reduced output, increased vibration, accelerated cylinder wear, and ultimately a seized or non-starting engine.
