Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-wear, low-friction applications.Select the lubricating grade polycarbonate specifically engineered for these demanding conditions.
Drilling holes without proper clearance, leading to stress cracks.Utilize oversized holes for fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent mechanical stress.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Bushings and guides

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can degrade material properties.
  • Chemical compatibility should be verified for specific operating environments to prevent degradation.
