Pneumatic Brake Specification Example for Export Programmes: Lightweight Version
Pneumatic Brake Specification Example for Export Programmes: Lightweight Version
This is a worked specification for pneumatic brake in a lightweight 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 lightweight version version exists because the duty cycle on export programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Pneumatic Brake |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | Lightweight Version |
| Base material | Carbon Fibre Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | SGS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Fibre Composite, 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
- ultrasonic cleaning
- gravity casting
- shot blasting
- powder coating
- surface grinding
- sintering
Where this example applies
Programmes that run lightweight version most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include municipal fleets, trailer axles, off-road bikes, fleet maintenance, agricultural trailers.
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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 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. SGS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
