Strut-Type Shock Absorber Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Standard Replacement
Strut-Type Shock Absorber Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Standard Replacement
This is a worked specification for strut-type shock absorber in a standard replacement 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 standard replacement version exists because the duty cycle on three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Strut-Type Shock Absorber |
|---|---|
| Application | Three-Wheelers |
| Version | Standard Replacement |
| Base material | PVC Coated Fabric |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| 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 — PVC Coated Fabric, 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
- surface grinding
- shot blasting
- anodising
- powder coating
- injection moulding
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run standard replacement most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include assembly programmes, city buses, off-road bikes, three-wheelers, export programmes.
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
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.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
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.
