Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or contamination.Thoroughly degrease and clean the mounting surface before installation to guarantee optimal contact and prevent potential performance issues.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential deformation.Apply fasteners to the recommended torque specifications to avoid over-stressing the material and ensure even distribution of load.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication system components
  • Guide rails and wear surfaces
  • Machine bases and structural supports in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent cuts and abrasions.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the surface and compromise corrosion resistance.
