Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where a specific lubricating grade is required.Always specify and use polycarbonate sheets formulated for lubricating applications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations.Utilize appropriate torque settings and consider the use of washers to distribute load and prevent localized stress cracking.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear strips and guides
  • Sealing components in lubricated systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Thermal expansion should be accounted for in designs involving significant temperature fluctuations.
