Single-Cylinder Engine Specification Example for Export Programmes: Folding Type
Single-Cylinder Engine Specification Example for Export Programmes: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for single-cylinder engine in a folding type 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 folding type 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 a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Single-Cylinder Engine |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Ceramic Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Ceramic 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
- injection moulding
- assembly line testing
- rubber vulcanisation
- CNC machining
- sintering
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include construction equipment, agricultural trailers, utility trailers, dealership service, three-wheelers.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 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.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
