Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade stainless steel that may corrode in the presence of lubricants.Always specify 304 stainless steel or higher for optimal corrosion resistance and material integrity in lubricating applications.
Not ensuring proper surface preparation and alignment during installation, leading to premature wear.Thoroughly clean and precisely align the sheet to minimize friction and maximize the lifespan of both the sheet and the lubricating components.

Common Applications

  • Wear Strips and Guides
  • Chute and Hopper Liners
  • Bearing Support Surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges and potential injury.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific lubricants to prevent degradation.
