Planetary Axle Specification Example for Export Programmes: Premium Line
Planetary Axle Specification Example for Export Programmes: Premium Line
This is a worked specification for planetary axle in a premium 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 premium line 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 inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Planetary Axle |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | Premium Line |
| Base material | Reinforced Nylon |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 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 — Reinforced Nylon, 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
- sintering
- powder coating
- gravity casting
- injection moulding
- die casting
- assembly line testing
Where this example applies
Programmes that run premium line most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include camper conversions, municipal fleets, three-wheelers, off-road bikes, 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.
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 500 pieces per line.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
