Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracksUse washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly, avoiding excessive torque.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that degrade polycarbonateConsult the material compatibility chart and use only mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Fluid monitoring windows in hydraulic manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV stabilization, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not subject to significant thermal shock, which can induce stress and potential fracture.
