Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade steel susceptible to corrosion in pneumatic systems.Always specify 304 stainless steel or higher for components exposed to moisture or corrosive environments within pneumatic systems.
Inadequate edge finishing after cutting, leading to potential damage to seals or tubing.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges with a file or grinding tool to achieve a smooth, safe finish.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic enclosure fabrication
  • Custom component mounting brackets
  • Structural elements for outdoor pneumatic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper safety precautions are taken when cutting and handling large metal sheets.
  • Verify compatibility of 304 stainless steel with specific chemicals or environments encountered by the pneumatic system.
