Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel for high-friction lubricating applications.Always select specific grades or types of stainless steel known for their wear resistance and compatibility with lubricants for such critical applications.
Inadequate surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean and degrease both the sheet and the mounting surface to ensure optimal adhesion and prevent premature wear or contamination.

Common Applications

  • Wear plates in conveyor systems
  • Guide rails for sliding components
  • Components within lubrication manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or dents that could compromise surface integrity.
  • Ensure compatibility of lubricants with 304 stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion or degradation.
