Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: High Performance
Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: High Performance
This is a worked specification for hydraulic piston in a high performance programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The high performance version exists because the duty cycle on assembly programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Hydraulic Piston |
|---|---|
| Application | Assembly Programmes |
| Version | High Performance |
| Base material | Natural Rubber |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | TUV |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Natural Rubber, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- cold forging
- injection moulding
- powder coating
- assembly line testing
- die casting
- CNC machining
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include delivery vans, assembly programmes, boat trailers, workshop replacements, export programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
