Import Tips
• Provide material certificates showing tensile strength >1400 MPa required for MW generator speeds
• Include CAD drawings demonstrating precise rotor slot dimensions matching 8501.64.0110 alternators
• Distinguish from aircraft/engine parts by proving electrical generator (not mechanical drive) application
