Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper surface preparation leading to poor lubrication flow.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces before installation to ensure unimpeded lubricant movement.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing material distortion or stress risers.Utilize torque wrenches and follow recommended torque specifications for all fasteners to prevent material damage.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs and containment units
  • Wear plates and guide rails in automated lubrication systems
  • Structural components within pump and valve assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure adequate ventilation during machining operations to prevent inhalation of aluminum dust.
  • Store in a dry, protected environment to prevent oxidation and maintain material integrity.
