Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills or saws not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ carbide-tipped router bits, circular saw blades with a high tooth count, and appropriate feed rates to prevent damage during fabrication.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential fracture.Use washers and allow for slight thermal expansion by not fully seating fasteners. Consider drilled and tapped holes or threaded inserts for secure mounting.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Fluid containment reservoirs
  • Manifold components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, which can degrade the material.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids and chemicals used in the system; consult material safety data sheets.
