Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard grade nylon for high-pressure hydraulic applications.Always specify and use hydraulic-grade nylon with appropriate material certifications for pressure-rated components.
Inadequate edge preparation after machining.Thoroughly deburr and radius all cut edges to prevent premature failure due to stress risers.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic cylinder seals and backup rings
  • Wear pads and guides in hydraulic cylinders
  • Custom fabricated hydraulic component parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong oxidizing acids and certain aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Ensure proper thermal expansion considerations during design and installation, as nylon can expand with temperature changes.
