2520093 - Bernard Clean Air Series Cable Strain Relief Support

Protect Your Fume Extraction Investment

In the demanding world of industrial welding, maintaining the integrity of your equipment is paramount to safety and productivity. The Bernard 2520093 Strain Relief is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the Bernard Clean Air Series of fume extraction MIG guns. Fume extraction guns are heavier and bulkier than standard MIG guns due to the integrated vacuum hose required to capture hazardous welding fumes at the source. This added bulk places significant stress on the cable connections, particularly where the cable exits the gun handle or connects to the feeder.

Without a proper strain relief, the constant movement, twisting, and dragging of the gun assembly can lead to kinking in the vacuum hose or damage to the power cable and liner. A compromised vacuum hose reduces airflow, rendering the fume extraction system less effective and potentially exposing the welder to harmful particulates. The Bernard 2520093 is engineered to absorb these mechanical stresses, providing a graduated bend radius that prevents sharp kinks and distributes the load evenly. This simple yet vital component helps ensure that your Clean Air Series gun continues to operate at peak efficiency, protecting both the equipment and the operator.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. Using genuine Bernard OEM parts like this strain relief ensures a perfect fit and restores your equipment to factory specifications. Whether you are repairing a damaged unit or performing preventative maintenance, installing a new strain relief is a cost-effective way to extend the life of your expensive fume extraction cable assemblies. Trust in the durability and engineering of Bernard components to keep your shop running smoothly and safely.

Key Benefits for Industrial Welders

Regularly inspecting and replacing the strain relief on your fume extraction guns can prevent more serious and expensive failures down the line. A cracked or missing strain relief allows the cable to bend too sharply, which can pinch the gas line or break the copper stranding inside the power cable. By maintaining this protective component, you ensure consistent arc stability, reliable gas coverage, and optimal fume capture performance.
