Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact hydraulic applications.Always specify polycarbonate for its superior impact resistance, crucial for safety and longevity in hydraulic systems.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking in the polycarbonate.Use appropriate torque settings and consider installing with washers to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Flow indicator housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface.
