Exhaust System Resonator Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Folding Type
Exhaust System Resonator Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for exhaust system resonator in a folding type 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 folding type version exists because the duty cycle on trailer axles 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 | Exhaust System Resonator |
|---|---|
| Application | Trailer Axles |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Anodised Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | CCC |
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
- sintering
- CNC machining
- rubber vulcanisation
- powder coating
- anodising
- assembly line testing
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for trailer axles. Related applications include racing teams, agricultural trailers, dealership service, camper conversions, emergency vehicles.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
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.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. CCC documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
