Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Low Maintenance Version
Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for hydraulic piston in a low maintenance 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 low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Hydraulic Piston |
|---|---|
| Application | Passenger Cars |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | Brass |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Brass, 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
- die casting
- anodising
- assembly line testing
- precision stamping
- gravity casting
- rubber vulcanisation
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for passenger cars. Related applications include agricultural trailers, trailer axles, three-wheelers, emergency vehicles, 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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
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.
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.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
