Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Machining without adequate cooling, leading to material degradation and warping.Utilize a sharp cutting tool and apply appropriate coolant during machining operations to maintain material integrity.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress concentrations and crack propagation in the Nylon.Employ torque-limiting tools and use appropriate washers to distribute load evenly when securing Nylon components.

Common Applications

  • Custom hydraulic manifold components
  • Wear pads and guides in hydraulic cylinders
  • Sealing elements and bushings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids or oxidizing agents.
  • Nylon can absorb moisture, which may affect dimensional stability in high-humidity environments. Consider pre-conditioning if critical.
