Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris. 2. Thread the M16 Polycarbonate Hex Head Cap Screw into the receiving component by hand for the initial turns to prevent cross-threading. 3. Using a wrench of appropriate size (17mm), tighten the screw until snug. Avoid overtightening to prevent stripping of the threads or damage to the polycarbonate material.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the polycarbonate screw.Apply only enough torque to secure the component firmly. Consult load charts if precise torque values are required, and use a torque-limiting wrench if necessary.
Using in applications exceeding the material's mechanical strength limits.Verify that the tensile and shear strength of polycarbonate meets the application's load requirements. For high-stress applications, consider metal fasteners or consult an engineer.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment assembly
  • Electrical enclosures and housings
  • Medical device manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the glass transition temperature of Polycarbonate (typically around 140-150°C).
  • While chemically resistant, testing with specific aggressive chemicals is recommended for critical applications.
