Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong grade of aluminum for lubricating applications.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or an equivalent alloy with proven lubricity for reduced friction and wear.
Improper surface preparation leading to increased friction.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces before installation and lubrication.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction guide rails
  • Bearing surfaces in machinery
  • Components for automated lubrication systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing to highly acidic or alkaline environments which may degrade the aluminum alloy.
  • Ensure proper machining practices to maintain surface integrity and prevent galling during operation.
