Performance Engine Crank Specification Example for Export Programmes: Reinforced Build
Performance Engine Crank Specification Example for Export Programmes: Reinforced Build
This is a worked specification for performance engine crank in a reinforced build 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 reinforced build 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 packing that arrived crushed at the port.
Example specification
| Item | Performance Engine Crank |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | Reinforced Build |
| Base material | PVC Coated Fabric |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SGS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — PVC Coated Fabric, 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
- gravity casting
- heat treatment
- robot welding
- surface grinding
- CNC machining
- die casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run reinforced build most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include three-wheelers, aftermarket retail, construction equipment, boat trailers, emergency vehicles.
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 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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SGS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
