Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or fracturing.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling to prevent thermal stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Use appropriate torque specifications and consider oversized holes or gasketed fasteners to distribute load and prevent localized stress.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Transparent hydraulic line components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilizers, as this can degrade material properties.
  • Chemical compatibility must be verified with specific hydraulic fluids to prevent degradation or swelling.
