Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact hydraulic applications.Always specify and use polycarbonate for applications requiring superior impact resistance and shatterproof qualities, especially in pressurized hydraulic systems.
Improper cutting techniques leading to stress cracks or delamination.Utilize cutting tools and speeds recommended for polycarbonate to avoid thermal stress, such as a sharp, high-speed saw with appropriate coolant or a laser cutter with optimized parameters.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Components
  • Fluid Reservoir Covers and Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper support and mounting to prevent excessive stress concentration during installation and operation.
