Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting or chipping.Employ sharp, specialized drill bits for plastics with a slow RPM and ample cooling lubricant.
Applying excessive force during fastening, causing stress fractures.Utilize washers and avoid overtightening fasteners; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic power units
  • Protective shields for high-pressure hydraulic lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consider thermal expansion and contraction in design to prevent stress buildup.
