Axle Shaft Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Two-Piece Construction
Axle Shaft Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for axle shaft in a two-piece construction 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 two-piece construction 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 packing that arrived crushed at the port.
Example specification
| Item | Axle Shaft |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | Two-Piece Construction |
| Base material | High Density Foam |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 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 — High Density Foam, 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
- anodising
- sintering
- laser cutting
- heat treatment
- robot welding
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include export programmes, racing teams, rental motorcycles, utility trailers, assembly programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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
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.
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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
