Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys that lack the required tensile strength for high-pressure pneumatic components.Always select Aluminum 6061 or a comparable alloy with certified mechanical properties for pneumatic applications.
Inadequate edge preparation leading to stress concentrations and potential failure points.Thoroughly deburr and chamfer all cut edges to ensure a smooth, uniform finish and prevent stress risers.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic cylinder bodies
  • Mounting brackets for pneumatic valves and actuators
