Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Touring Version
Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Touring Version
This is a worked specification for hydraulic piston in a touring 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 touring version version exists because the duty cycle on municipal fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification
| Item | Hydraulic Piston |
|---|---|
| Application | Municipal Fleets |
| Version | Touring Version |
| Base material | Tempered Glass |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Tempered Glass, 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
- CNC machining
- surface grinding
- anodising
- gravity casting
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run touring version most often specify this build for municipal fleets. Related applications include emergency vehicles, passenger cars, export programmes, boat trailers, camper conversions.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 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. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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 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 3000 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.
