Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during cutting, leading to material deformation.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools and maintain consistent feed rates to prevent warping or stress on the aluminum.
Inadequate surface preparation before installation, causing premature wear.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges of the cut sheet to ensure a smooth mating surface with the lubricating system.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Guide rails
  • Low-friction components
  • Slider mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during fabrication and installation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining aluminum alloys to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
