Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that generate excessive heat, leading to melting or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools or laser cutting with appropriate cooling to prevent material damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress concentrations and lead to cracking.Utilize a torque wrench and follow recommended torque values for polycarbonate, or employ grommets for stress distribution.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Fluid Reservoir Windows
  • Protective Shields for Hydraulic Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids; consult chemical resistance charts if unsure.
