Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys not rated for pneumatic pressure cycles.Always specify and utilize Aluminum 6061 or equivalent high-strength alloys for pneumatic components to ensure structural integrity and prevent failure.
Inadequate surface finish leading to seal leakage.Ensure critical sealing surfaces are machined to the required Ra (roughness average) to guarantee effective pneumatic sealing and prevent air loss.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Cylinder Barrels
  • Valve Bodies and Manifolds
  • Pneumatic Control System Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper machining tolerances are maintained to avoid compromising seal integrity.
  • Consider the operating temperature range of pneumatic systems when selecting this material.
