Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient lubrication in initial startup.Apply a light coat of appropriate lubricant to mating surfaces before initial operation to prevent dry start-up wear.
Over-machining, leading to excessive material removal and weakened components.Adhere strictly to design tolerances and avoid removing more material than specified during the machining process.

Common Applications

  • Custom Bearings and Bushings
  • Wear Plates for Sliding Mechanisms
  • Self-Lubricating Components in Actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments, as brass can be susceptible to dezincification.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining operations due to potential dust generation.
