Automatic Lubrication System Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: All-Weather Version
Automatic Lubrication System Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: All-Weather Version
This is a worked specification for automatic lubrication system in a all-weather 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 all-weather version version exists because the duty cycle on municipal fleets 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 | Automatic Lubrication System |
|---|---|
| Application | Municipal Fleets |
| Version | All-Weather Version |
| Base material | Natural Rubber |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Natural 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
- electroplating
- ultrasonic cleaning
- laser cutting
- CNC machining
- surface grinding
- precision stamping
Where this example applies
Programmes that run all-weather version most often specify this build for municipal fleets. Related applications include aftermarket retail, city buses, delivery vans, rental motorcycles, racing teams.
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 you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the E-mark-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
