Sleeve Auto Bearing Specification Example for Racing Teams: Waterproof Version
Sleeve Auto Bearing Specification Example for Racing Teams: Waterproof Version
This is a worked specification for sleeve auto bearing in a waterproof 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 waterproof 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 | Sleeve Auto Bearing |
|---|---|
| Application | Racing Teams |
| Version | Waterproof Version |
| Base material | EPDM Rubber |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 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 — EPDM Rubber, 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
- CNC machining
- sintering
- precision stamping
- die casting
- heat treatment
- robot welding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run waterproof version most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include long-haul trucks, boat trailers, aftermarket retail, passenger cars, dealership service.
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
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 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.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
