Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or improperly cut material.Always measure and verify dimensions before cutting to ensure a precise fit for optimal contact and friction reduction.
Failing to account for thermal expansion.While brass has relatively low thermal expansion, consider the operating temperature range and allow for slight clearances if necessary to prevent binding.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Wear plates and guide rails
  • Anti-friction sliding surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and cutting metal stock.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining operations to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
