Mechanical Hand Brake Specification Example for Export Programmes: High Performance
Mechanical Hand Brake Specification Example for Export Programmes: High Performance
This is a worked specification for mechanical hand brake 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 export programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.
Example specification
| Item | Mechanical Hand Brake |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | High Performance |
| Base material | Silicone |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | DOT |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Silicone, 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
- injection moulding
- gravity casting
- assembly line testing
- robot welding
- sintering
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include assembly programmes, boat trailers, rental motorcycles, long-haul trucks, off-road bikes.
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
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
