Planetary Axle Specification Example for Rental Motorcycles: Budget Line
Planetary Axle Specification Example for Rental Motorcycles: Budget Line
This is a worked specification for planetary axle in a budget line 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 budget line version exists because the duty cycle on rental motorcycles is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.
Example specification
| Item | Planetary Axle |
|---|---|
| Application | Rental Motorcycles |
| Version | Budget Line |
| Base material | Titanium Alloy |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 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 — Titanium Alloy, 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
- anodising
- precision stamping
- injection moulding
- surface grinding
- assembly line testing
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run budget line most often specify this build for rental motorcycles. Related applications include camper conversions, light trucks, passenger cars, three-wheelers, dealership service.
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 the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
