Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools which can lead to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized router bits or saw blades designed for plastics, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Use appropriate washers and allow for thermal expansion when securing polycarbonate components; consider grommets for vibration dampening.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder components
  • Machine guards and enclosures
  • Sight glasses for fluid reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not expose to continuous UV radiation without UV protective coating, which can cause yellowing and brittleness over time.
