Seat Force @ Installed Height InspectionREQUIRED

Ensure correct preload.

METHOD: Force GaugeFREQ: 100%ACC: +/- 5% of target
Open Force @ Open Height InspectionREQUIRED

Ensure correct peak load.

METHOD: Force GaugeFREQ: 100%
Bind Margin Clearance VerificationREQUIRED

Prevent catastrophic coil bind.

METHOD: Height GaugeFREQ: Sample per lot
Request cert tensile from supplierRECOMMENDED

Design used generic spec range; actual values ensure safety margin.
