Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where lubricating properties are essential.Select the specific lubricating grade polycarbonate to ensure proper function and longevity of moving parts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize appropriate torque settings and consider the use of washers to distribute load when fastening polycarbonate components.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Wear strips and guide rails
  • Low-friction sliding components
  • Machine guards requiring wear resistance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as this can degrade material properties.
  • Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface finish and lubricating properties.
