Sleeve Auto Bearing Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Two-Piece Construction
Sleeve Auto Bearing Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for sleeve auto bearing in a two-piece construction 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 two-piece construction version exists because the duty cycle on courier fleets 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 | Sleeve Auto Bearing |
|---|---|
| Application | Courier Fleets |
| Version | Two-Piece Construction |
| Base material | High Density Foam |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — High Density Foam, 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
- sintering
- assembly line testing
- electroplating
- anodising
- laser cutting
- die casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include city buses, scooter fleets, aftermarket retail, 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
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the E-mark-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.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
