Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion.Employ slotted holes or allow a small gap around fasteners to accommodate temperature-induced expansion and contraction.
Applying excessive force during fastening, leading to stress concentrations.Hand-tighten fasteners initially and then use a torque wrench to achieve the specified torque, ensuring even pressure distribution.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective covers for hydraulic manifold blocks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without proper UV coating, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can chemically attack polycarbonate, as this may compromise its structural integrity.
