Tire Balancing Machine Specification Example for City Buses: High Performance
Tire Balancing Machine Specification Example for City Buses: High Performance
This is a worked specification for tire balancing machine in a high performance 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 high performance version exists because the duty cycle on city buses is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually lead time that slipped twice before bulk started.
Example specification
| Item | Tire Balancing Machine |
|---|---|
| Application | City Buses |

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Polypropylene, 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
- heat treatment
- anodising
- electroplating
- surface grinding
- sintering
- robot welding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for city buses. Related applications include racing teams, rental motorcycles, construction equipment, long-haul trucks, passenger cars.
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
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.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the TUV-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
