Steel Piston Pin Specification Example for Racing Teams: Quick Fit Version
Steel Piston Pin Specification Example for Racing Teams: Quick Fit Version
This is a worked specification for steel piston pin in a quick fit 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 quick fit version version exists because the duty cycle on racing teams is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.
Example specification
| Item | Steel Piston Pin |
|---|---|
| Application | Racing Teams |
| Version | Quick Fit Version |
| Base material | Sintered Metal |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | RoHS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Sintered Metal, 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
- anodising
- CNC machining
- robot welding
- assembly line testing
- gravity casting
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run quick fit version most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include scooter fleets, camper conversions, utility trailers, light trucks, rental motorcycles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the RoHS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
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.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
