Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for hydraulic visibility panels.Always select polycarbonate for hydraulic applications due to its superior impact resistance and chemical compatibility with hydraulic fluids.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper reinforcement.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling and consider reinforcing mounting points to prevent stress concentration and potential cracking.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Machine guards for hydraulic systems
  • Transparent hydraulic system enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Use only compatible cleaning agents; harsh chemicals can damage the surface and compromise optical clarity.
