Air Shock Absorber Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: OEM Replacement
Air Shock Absorber Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: OEM Replacement
This is a worked specification for air shock absorber in a oem replacement 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 oem replacement version exists because the duty cycle on fleet maintenance 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 | Air Shock Absorber |
|---|---|
| Application | Fleet Maintenance |
| Version | OEM Replacement |
| Base material | Kevlar Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Kevlar 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
- surface grinding
- heat treatment
- electroplating
- injection moulding
- robot welding
- assembly line testing
Where this example applies
Programmes that run oem replacement most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include delivery vans, agricultural trailers, light trucks, racing teams, city buses.
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
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
