Mechanical Coupling Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Fixed Type
Mechanical Coupling Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for mechanical coupling in a fixed 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 fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on scooter fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.
Example specification
| Item | Mechanical Coupling |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | Fixed Type |
| Base material | Magnesium Alloy |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 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 — Magnesium Alloy, 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
- assembly line testing
- laser cutting
- rubber vulcanisation
- precision stamping
- heat treatment
- robot welding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include trailer axles, construction equipment, fleet maintenance, workshop replacements, three-wheelers.
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
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the CCC-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
