Application decision table
| Automation condition | Parameter to send | Why it affects selection |
|---|---|---|
| High cycle equipment | Cycle time, speed, acceleration, duty | Affects lead, lubrication, and life expectation. |
| Heavy load or vertical motion | Load direction, safety factor, brake need | Affects diameter, lead, and thrust margin. |
| Compact machine layout | Mounting method, support unit, motor connection | Affects end machining and assembly fit. |
| Precision positioning | Accuracy, repeatability, backlash | Affects grade, preload, and inspection scope. |
RFQ checklist
- Automation equipment type, axis, working stroke, mounting method, and space limits.
- Load, speed, travel, acceleration, cycle time, and life expectation.
- Required accuracy, repeatability, backlash, preload, and inspection report needs.
- Support unit, motor connection, coupling, nut orientation, and end machining drawing.
- Quantity, trial sample plan, batch forecast, packing, destination, and delivery target.
Send us the automation application data
Send weimute the application parameters and any machine layout drawing. Our manufacturing and sales team will separate selection questions from manufacturing questions, then quote a practical ball screw route for samples or batch quantity.
FAQ
Can I quote automation equipment by model only? It is risky. Load, speed, travel, mounting method, accuracy, and life expectation decide whether the model is suitable. See C7 vs C5 ball screw selection for how accuracy grade affects cost and quotation.
What if the design is still changing? Send target ranges and mark uncertain points so weimute can give selection guidance before final drawing confirmation.
Next step
Turn this guide into an RFQ
When the specification direction is clear, send the details below together with quantity, lead time, and packing requirements.
Include these details
- Model, diameter, lead, accuracy grade, or target application.
- Load, speed, travel, mounting method, and matching rail or support-unit needs.
- Quantity, lead time, packing, and whether inspection records or shipment photos are needed.
