Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately secure the sheet.Employ fasteners with a diameter and length appropriate for the 0.503" thickness and the load requirements of the application.
Improperly aligning the sheet, leading to uneven wear or binding in the lubricating system.Utilize precision measuring tools during installation to guarantee perfect alignment with mating components.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear plates in sliding mechanisms
  • Components for automated lubrication systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing to highly acidic or alkaline environments, which can degrade aluminum.
  • Ensure proper machining practices to prevent excessive heat buildup, which can affect material properties.
