The Lincoln Electric K52106-7 is a premium Gun Assembly designed specifically for handheld Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Engineered to handle high-amperage applications, this gun is rated at 550 Amps, making it an essential tool for heavy fabrication environments where deep penetration and high deposition rates are required. The assembly features a robust design that integrates the flux delivery system directly with the welding arc, ensuring consistent coverage and superior weld quality typical of the SAW process.
This unit comes equipped with a 7-foot (2.1-meter) cable, offering a balance between reach and manageability. The cable is constructed to withstand the rigors of industrial use, resisting wear and tear from abrasion and heat. The gun itself is ergonomically designed to minimize operator fatigue, a critical factor when performing long, continuous welds on structural steel, pressure vessels, or heavy machinery. The K52106-7 connects seamlessly with compatible Lincoln Electric wire feeders, providing a reliable electrical and mechanical interface for smooth wire feeding.
Ideally suited for applications where full mechanization is not feasible but the deposition benefits of submerged arc are desired, this gun allows operators to manually guide the weld along irregular joints or in confined spaces. It supports standard sub-arc wire diameters, typically ranging from 5/64" to 3/32", allowing for versatility across different plate thicknesses. The integrated flux cone ensures that the granular flux is deposited precisely over the arc, protecting the molten puddle from atmospheric contamination without the need for shielding gas.
