Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Dealership Service: Heavy Duty
Hydraulic Piston Specification Example for Dealership Service: Heavy Duty
This is a worked specification for hydraulic piston in a heavy duty 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 heavy duty version exists because the duty cycle on dealership service 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 | Hydraulic Piston |
|---|---|
| Application | Dealership Service |
| Version | Heavy Duty |
| Base material | Sintered Metal |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |

| Sampling | 14 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 — 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
- cold forging
- surface grinding
- anodising
- ultrasonic cleaning
- assembly line testing
- powder coating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run heavy duty most often specify this build for dealership service. Related applications include light trucks, three-wheelers, scooter fleets, off-road bikes, construction equipment.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
