Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-friction applications.Specify lubricating grade polycarbonate for reduced wear and improved performance.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to sheet distortion or cracking.Use washers and do not over-torque fasteners; allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearings
  • Wear-resistant guide rails
  • Self-lubricating components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals which may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consider thermal expansion when designing mating parts and fastening systems.
