Installation Procedure

1. Cut sheet to required dimensions using appropriate polycarbonate cutting tools (e.g., laser, CNC router). 2. Deburr all edges to prevent stress concentration and ensure smooth operation. 3. Secure the fabricated component using mechanical fasteners or adhesives compatible with polycarbonate, avoiding over-tightening that could induce stress.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to melting or cracking.Employ tools specifically designed for polycarbonate, such as carbide-tipped blades or laser cutters, and maintain appropriate feed rates and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress risers and potential fracture.Use washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight; consider slotted holes for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear pads and guides
  • Self-lubricating components
  • Chute liners
  • Machine guards requiring smooth surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV stabilizers, as it can degrade the material.
  • Use cleaning agents compatible with polycarbonate; harsh solvents can cause crazing or damage.
