Car Bearing Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Long Life Version
Car Bearing Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Long Life Version
This is a worked specification for car bearing in a long life 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 long life version version exists because the duty cycle on delivery vans is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.
Example specification
| Item | Car Bearing |
|---|---|
| Application | Delivery Vans |
| Version | Long Life Version |
| Base material | Anodised Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 3,000 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 — Anodised Aluminium, 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
- cold forging
- electroplating
- surface grinding
- ultrasonic cleaning
- laser cutting
- die casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run long life version most often specify this build for delivery vans. Related applications include courier fleets, workshop replacements, rental motorcycles, export programmes, off-road bikes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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 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.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
