Trailer axle factory homemade parts and purchased parts which is better?

Axle is one of the key components of the trailer chassis, bearing the role of supporting the body load, auxiliary braking, maintaining driving, and cushioning the road vibration to a certain extent. From the perspective of composition structure, the trailer axle is mainly composed of the shaft beam and various parts of the brake, wheel end and camshaft unit.

When purchasing the axle, the owner will often find such a problem: some parts of the trailer axle factory are produced by themselves, and some are purchased from external suppliers. Which of these two ways of producing the axle is better?

First of all, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of homemade accessories and purchased accessories.

1, trailer axle factory homemade accessories

Advantages:

(1) For the trailer axle factory, an obvious advantage brought by homemade accessories is that it can enhance the control of production costs, reduce axle production costs, and obtain greater profit margins to a certain extent.

(2) The axle factory homemade parts, can improve the production process, production efficiency, production time, etc., to better cooperate with the trailer axle production planning, to ensure the timely supply of parts.

(3) The self-production of accessories forms a closed loop, which can further enhance the coordination between the finished product and the accessories. If any part has a problem or the coordination is not good enough, the axle factory can directly discuss the internal solution.

(4) Homemade accessories can make full use of the car bridge factory's own equipment, personnel, plant and other resources.

Weaknesses:

(1) There are many kinds of parts required on the axle, such as wheels, brake drums, brake pads, bearings, etc., whose production standards and production processes are not the same, and it is not easy to specialize in a wide range of fields.

(2) Production standards and product quality are all controlled by themselves, whether to meet the unified standards of the market is not easy to define, but also depends on the specific strength of the manufacturer. According to the user's reflection, there have been cases in the market where the quality of individual axle parts produced by the axle factory is not up to standard, which has to be paid attention to.

(3) axle factory self-produced parts should also consider the problem of production saturation. If the strength, experience, scale, etc. are in an absolute advantage, you can take out technology and energy to invest in the research and development and production of spare parts, and it is difficult to take into account the dual fields of axles and spare parts.

Advantages:

(1) The axle parts supply chain on the market is mature and perfect, and there is no shortage of excellent and strong parts suppliers, and they have the corresponding ability to expand the supply variety.

(2) Unlike self-produced parts, parts produced by professional parts factories are often supplied to different axle factories, which need to face a broader axle market, in other words, the frequency and opportunities for market inspection that need to be accepted are more. Some well-known brands have been baptized and verified by the market for many years, and the quality and performance are relatively more reliable.

(3) Professional R & D and production of spare parts, technology, experience, manpower, material resources can be fully invested, enterprises can not compete with their own spare parts.

(4) For the axle factory, it is more convenient and faster to purchase parts, and it does not need to disperse manpower and material resources, etc., and can focus on the continuous improvement and upgrading of core technology.

Weaknesses:

(1) accessories need to be purchased, the production cost increases accordingly, and the better the quality of the selected accessories, the higher the cost.

(2) The production schedule and supply efficiency of spare parts are not controlled by themselves, if you can not communicate well with the spare parts factory in advance, it is easy to supply goods and affect the production of axle.

(3) If there is a problem with the coordination of parts and axle, it can only be solved by communication with the parts factory, which is not as efficient as internal negotiation.

It can be seen that the trailer axle factory homemade parts and purchased parts, both have advantages and disadvantages. Of course, the above is mainly analyzed from the perspective of the axle factory.

If from the point of view of consumers, the main advantage of the axle factory's own production of accessories is the price, the production cost is reduced, and the price of the finished axle will be reduced correspondingly, which is also a gimmick for many manufacturers to attract consumers.

It is worth noting that consumers need to do a good job of quality screening. From the establishment of the manufacturer's time, strength, scale, user reputation and other aspects of understanding. In addition, self-made parts ≠ low prices, some of the trailer axle brands located in the high-end route will not be reduced because of the accessories produced by themselves, on the contrary, it will be a large portion higher, in addition to the brand premium factor, mainly quality and performance.

In contrast, the axle factory purchased parts, the price may not be dominant, of course, those who choose three small workshop accessories do not count.

Although the price is slightly higher, the quality can still be guaranteed, which has been explained in detail in the above article. In particular, the head brand of the axle parts industry, the stability and reliability of its product quality is almost recognized in the industry, and even many consumers directly specify their accessories when they buy trailer axles.

In addition, after the accessories purchased by the trailer axle factory arrive, they are not directly installed and used, but also need to go through a series of quality inspection processes and be used after passing, which is equivalent to giving more quality assurance and fully ensuring the stability and efficiency of the trailer axle in use.
