Sleeve Auto Bearing Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Waterproof Version
Sleeve Auto Bearing Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Waterproof Version
This is a worked specification for sleeve auto bearing in a waterproof version 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 waterproof version version exists because the duty cycle on trailer axles is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Anodised Aluminium, 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
- shot blasting
- heat treatment
- cold forging
- surface grinding
- laser cutting
- rubber vulcanisation
Where this example applies
Programmes that run waterproof version most often specify this build for trailer axles. Related applications include construction equipment, racing teams, delivery vans, dealership service, camper conversions.
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
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the E-mark-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
