Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for nylon, leading to melting or uneven edges.Employ carbide-tipped saw blades or router bits designed for plastics, and maintain appropriate cutting speeds to prevent heat buildup.
Overtightening fasteners when mounting nylon components, causing stress cracking.Utilize torque wrenches to adhere to specified tightening limits and consider incorporating washers or grommets to distribute load.

Common Applications

  • Custom Hydraulic Seals and Gaskets
  • Wear Plates and Bushings
  • Protective Covers and Shields for Hydraulic Lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids or oxidizing agents, as these can degrade nylon.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during machining processes to dissipate any airborne particulates.
