Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where a lubricated grade is required.Always specify and use a lubricating grade polycarbonate for applications demanding reduced friction and wear.
Improper fastener selection leading to stress concentration.Utilize fasteners designed for plastic applications and ensure even load distribution to prevent cracking or deformation.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Self-lubricating bearing components
  • Slide guides in automated machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May degrade under prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals. Consult chemical resistance charts.
  • Machining operations should employ cooling to prevent thermal degradation and maintain dimensional accuracy.
