Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installation, potentially cracking the polycarbonate structure.Use controlled pressure and ensure proper alignment. If resistance is met, re-check for obstructions or misalignments.
Exposing the polycarbonate bearing to temperatures exceeding its operational limits, leading to deformation or failure.Verify that the operating temperature of the application remains within the specified range for polycarbonate bearings.

Common Applications

  • Lightweight industrial machinery
  • Corrosive chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage processing conveyors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum operating temperature for polycarbonate is critical; consult material data sheet for precise limits.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents that may scratch or damage the polycarbonate raceways.
