Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive pneumatic environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for its superior resistance to chlorides and other corrosive agents commonly found in pneumatic systems.
Inadequate deburring of cut edges, leading to air leaks or component damage.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges and machined surfaces to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage to seals and other components.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic valve components
  • Cylinder housings and end caps
  • Specialized pneumatic fittings and connectors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratches and deformation.
  • Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn during fabrication and installation.
