What a useful quality check covers
Dimensions & connections
Compare the specified length, stroke and end connections with the drawing. Review clearance and movement in the actual assembly.
Force & operating conditions
Record the force together with the measurement position, direction and temperature. A force marking alone does not define the load capacity of a hinged panel.
Movement & repeat use
Assess travel, smoothness and any specified lock-and-release function. Cycle results need defined conditions and acceptance limits.
Condition & packing
Review rods, bodies and fittings for visible damage, then check product identification and the agreed protective packing.
