Product Overview
Leash hardware can combine a clip, swivel and connecting loop in one assembly.
The reference is useful for defining individual metal parts and their interfaces, not a stated load rating.
Structure & Mating Interfaces
Provide gate engagement, swivel connection and the mating strap or ring.
Identify load directions and whether moving members are part of the requested supply.
Engineering Focus
Why define the gate and swivel as separate interfaces?
The gate controls closure, while the swivel permits a different movement.
Both can affect the completed connection, but they require different checks.
Defining each interface avoids treating a general assembly appearance as evidence of closure or rotation performance.
Manufacturing Route & Finishing
Review the clip body, pin and rotating connection as separate manufacturing items.
Forming and machining may be combined, with final assembly defined explicitly.
The proposed route is confirmed for your drawing, material and quantity. An image does not establish a fixed tolerance or a complete process specification.
Compare manufacturing capabilities →Materials & Surface Requirements
Specify the actual alloy or functional material requirements rather than relying on color or a trade name.
Specialty material requests need an individual process review.
Define visible surfaces, contact requirements and final dimensions in the delivered condition.
Review material-selection information →Quality & Sample Approval
Check closure, swivel movement, retention and the agreed assembly test.
Required load and durability levels must come from the project specification.
Specify the drawing revision and the condition in which each dimension is inspected. Record the agreed dimensional and functional checks before sample approval.
Quality documentation →Prepare a Product-Specific RFQ
- Component definition. Send the 2D drawing and 3D model, where available, with the drawing revision and the requested part or assembly scope.
- Mating information. Include the assembly references needed to define the interfaces discussed above.
- Delivered condition. State material, finishing and inspection requirements, identifying any items that need a manufacturing recommendation.
- Supply plan. Include sample needs, expected order and annual quantities, packaging requirements and target timing.
Product Questions
Does a clip photograph establish a suitable pet size or load?
No. The approved assembly design and test requirements must establish intended use and load limits.
Why define the gate and swivel as separate interfaces?
The gate controls closure, while the swivel permits a different movement. Both can affect the completed connection, but they require different checks. Defining each interface avoids treating a general assembly appearance as evidence of closure or rotation performance.
What should the project acceptance plan include?
Check closure, swivel movement, retention and the agreed assembly test. Required load and durability levels must come from the project specification.
Technical Context
The product-specific notes above identify drawing-review questions. General process and material references are collected separately; they do not verify a material grade, production qualification or performance claim for the pictured part.
