Do you test all your goods before delivery?
Direct answer
Every shipment is quality-released, but not every feature is measured on every part.
PairGears applies in-process controls and final inspection before goods are released for delivery. The correct inspection level depends on risk: designated critical characteristics or visual conditions may require 100% checking, while stable dimensions may be controlled through first-article inspection, in-process checks, and an agreed sampling plan.
If your contract requires 100% inspection of a specific characteristic, write that requirement on the drawing or purchase order rather than relying on the general phrase “test all goods.”
What may be checked before shipment
Geometry and fit
Critical diameters, runout, tooth thickness, backlash-related dimensions, and drawing tolerances.
Gear accuracy
Tooth profile, lead, pitch, and related gear measurements when the specification calls for them.
Material and condition
Hardness, metallography or case depth where required, plus surface condition, marking, packing, and quantity.
Illustrative inspection plan
| Characteristic | Possible control | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Burrs, rust, obvious damage | 100% visual check | Final release record |
| Critical bore or mounting feature | 100% or agreed sampling, based on risk | Dimensional report |
| Tooth profile and lead | First article plus defined batch sampling unless otherwise specified | Gear measurement chart |
| Material and heat treatment | Batch verification | Certificate, hardness, or metallurgical record |
| Labels and protective packing | Shipment check | Packing and release record |
This is an example, not a universal PairGears default. The approved drawing, control plan, quality agreement, and purchase order determine the actual frequency and acceptance criteria.
Related questions
Can I request a full dimensional report?
Yes, but define the measured characteristics, sample quantity, report format, and delivery timing before order confirmation.
Does a material certificate prove dimensional quality?
No. Material evidence and geometric inspection address different risks and should be reviewed together.
What should happen if a result is out of tolerance?
The affected lot should be contained, reviewed, and released only after an approved disposition and any required corrective action.
Inspection scope should match the actual gear type and application; you can first review the PairGears product range.
