Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-friction applications.Utilize this specifically formulated lubricating grade polycarbonate for reduced wear and improved performance in sliding or rotating components.
Improper cutting techniques causing stress fractures or chipping.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools and observe recommended feed rates and speeds for polycarbonate to maintain material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating wear pads
  • Conveyor system guides and rollers
  • Low-friction slide mechanisms
  • Gears and bushings in lubricated environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without protective coatings, as this may degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific chemicals before use; consult material safety data sheets for detailed chemical resistance information.
