Steel Piston Pin Specification Example for Light Trucks: Heavy Duty
Steel Piston Pin Specification Example for Light Trucks: Heavy Duty
This is a worked specification for steel piston pin in a heavy duty 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 heavy duty version exists because the duty cycle on light trucks is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Steel Piston Pin |
|---|---|
| Application | Light Trucks |
| Version | Heavy Duty |
| Base material | Kevlar Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 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 — Kevlar Composite, 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
- surface grinding
- assembly line testing
- ultrasonic cleaning
- cold forging
- injection moulding
- powder coating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run heavy duty most often specify this build for light trucks. Related applications include racing teams, delivery vans, light trucks, fleet maintenance, emergency vehicles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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 long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
