Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that generate excessive heat, leading to melting or deformation.Employ tools with high-speed rotation and appropriate cooling (e.g., air jet) to maintain low temperatures during cutting.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress concentrations and potential cracking over time.Utilize washers and torque settings recommended for polycarbonate to distribute load evenly and prevent localized stress.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder guards
  • Visual inspection windows for pneumatic manifolds
  • Enclosures for pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can cause stress cracking.
  • Use appropriate UV-resistant coatings if prolonged outdoor exposure is anticipated.
