Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient lubrication on mating surfaces.Always ensure adequate and consistent application of the specified lubricant to minimize friction and wear.
Improper surface preparation leading to contamination.Thoroughly clean all surfaces prior to installation to prevent particulate contamination, which can compromise lubrication effectiveness and lead to premature wear.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides in conveyor systems
  • Sliding surfaces in machinery with reduced friction requirements
  • Components requiring a smooth, non-stick surface for material handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility of lubricant with 304 stainless steel to prevent degradation.
