Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive pneumatic environments.Always select materials like 304 stainless steel, which are specifically designed for corrosion resistance in pneumatic applications.
Inadequate deburring of cut edges, leading to seal damage.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to a smooth finish to protect pneumatic seals and ensure leak-free operation.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Manifold Fabrication
  • Enclosures for Pneumatic Controls
  • Structural Components for Pneumatic Cylinders

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or fabricating stainless steel.
