Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits that can cause cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or pilot holes with a slow speed and light pressure.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress fractures.Use washers and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for slight expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Manifold components and fluid transfer lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure compatibility with all hydraulic fluids and cleaning agents to prevent chemical attack.
