Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a sheet with insufficient thickness for the load-bearing requirements.Always verify the required thickness based on the specific application's stress analysis and load calculations.
Improper surface preparation leading to lubricant channeling issues.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces that will come into contact with lubricants to ensure smooth flow.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs and sumps
  • Bearing housings and supports
  • Conveyor system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Confirm material compatibility with specific lubricants and operational environments.
