Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening, which can strip threads or crack the polycarbonate material.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for polycarbonate fasteners or tighten until snug and then a quarter turn.
Using metal tools with excessive force, potentially damaging the hex head.Employ hex drivers designed for plastic fasteners or ensure your metal drivers are in good condition to prevent slippage and damage.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and control panels
  • Medical equipment assemblies
  • Corrosive chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications where high shear strength is critical.
  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation for prolonged periods, as it may degrade material properties over time.
