Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for structural connections.Select fasteners that are appropriately sized and rated for the shear and tensile loads expected in the pneumatic system.
Allowing sharp internal corners in fabricated parts.Employ a minimum radius of 0.062 inches at all internal corners to reduce stress concentration and prevent crack propagation.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Manifold Blocks
  • Custom Enclosures for Pneumatic Controls
  • Structural Supports for Pneumatic Cylinders and Actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or machining aluminum.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive environments that may exceed the inherent corrosion resistance of Aluminum 6061.
