Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade aluminum alloys for pressure-bearing pneumatic components.Always specify and use Aluminum 6061 or equivalent for pneumatic parts requiring strength and corrosion resistance.
Inadequate deburring of machined edges on pneumatic components.Thoroughly deburr all machined edges to prevent particle contamination within pneumatic systems, which can lead to valve malfunction or seal damage.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Manifold Blocks
  • Actuator Housings
  • Valve Bodies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to avoid inhalation of aluminum dust.
  • Handle with care to prevent surface scratching which could compromise corrosion resistance in critical pneumatic applications.
