Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using generic steel instead of 304 stainless steel for lubricant contact.Always specify and utilize 304 stainless steel to prevent premature corrosion and contamination of the lubricant.
Improper cutting techniques leading to burrs or deformation.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools and finishing processes to maintain dimensional accuracy and surface integrity.

Common Applications

  • Custom Lubricant Dispensing Systems
  • Specialized Bearing Surfaces
  • Anti-Friction Components in Machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility of the 304 stainless steel with the specific lubricants being used to prevent any unintended chemical reactions.
