Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended specification, ensuring even pressure distribution.
Exposing the polycarbonate to incompatible chemicals that degrade its material integrity.Consult a chemical compatibility chart to confirm suitability before contact with specific hydraulic fluids or cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid sight glasses
  • Protective covers for hydraulic pumps and valves
  • Manifold block components requiring transparency

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time without proper UV stabilizers.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or damage the surface.
