QT2-60 - Bernard QT2 Series 60-Degree MIG Gun Neck

Enhance Precision with the Bernard QT2-60 MIG Gun Neck

The Bernard QT2-60 Neck is an essential upgrade or replacement for professional welders seeking optimal performance from their MIG welding setup. Featuring a 60-degree bend, this gooseneck is engineered to solve common ergonomic challenges faced during intricate welding procedures. Standard straight or 45-degree necks often force welders into uncomfortable positions to achieve the correct travel angle, leading to wrist strain and inconsistent welds. The QT2-60 allows for a more natural hand position when accessing deep joints, pipe flanges, or overhead assemblies, ultimately leading to better weld quality and reduced operator fatigue.

Manufactured by Bernard, a leader in welding torch technology, this neck is built to facilitate smooth wire feeding and consistent gas coverage. The internal geometry of the QT2-60 is precision-machined to prevent wire drag and shaving, which are common causes of liner clogging and arc instability. When paired with the correct liner and consumables, this neck ensures that the welding wire is delivered to the contact tip with minimal resistance. This is particularly important for aluminum or flux-cored applications where wire feeding issues can be prevalent. The high-quality copper and brass construction ensures maximum electrical transfer efficiency, providing a stable arc even at higher amperages.

Thermal management is another critical feature of the Bernard QT2-60. Welding necks are subjected to intense radiant heat from the arc as well as resistive heating from the welding current. Bernard's design effectively dissipates this heat, keeping the front-end consumables cooler and extending their service life. This thermal efficiency also protects the gun handle and the welder's hand from excessive heat buildup during long duty cycles. For professionals who demand reliability, using genuine Bernard necks ensures that the torch performs as rated, maintaining safety and productivity standards.

Compatibility is key when selecting torch parts. The QT2-60 is designed to fit specific Bernard handle and cable assemblies, offering a secure and leak-free connection. The rotatable nature of many Bernard necks adds another layer of versatility, allowing the welder to orient the 60-degree bend in the most advantageous direction for the task at hand. Whether you are replacing a damaged neck or customizing your torch for a specific project, the Bernard QT2-60 delivers the quality and performance professional welders expect. Upgrade your torch ergonomics and reach with this high-performance gooseneck.
