How Batch Ball Screw Bar and Cut Length Orders Reduce RFQ Back-and-Forth

Clarify bar stock, cut lengths, mixed models, and matching nuts early to reduce repeated batch purchasing questions.

Batch purchase starts by separating bars and cut lengths

When distributors purchase ball screw bars, the RFQ should say whether the order is for full bars or specified cut lengths. Full bar length works for local machining and stock, while cut lengths are easier for direct resale or repair customers.

Full bar length and mixed models affect quotation

Full bar length, quantity per model, and whether mixed models are included affect production batches, packing method, and transport cost. List 1605, 1610, 2005, 2510, and other models separately instead of sending only one total quantity.

Matching nuts, packing method, and lead time should be confirmed together

Batch purchase RFQs should state whether matching nuts are included, how many nuts per screw, whether nuts are packed separately, the packing method, target lead time, and whether split shipment is needed.

RFQ checklist

  • Purchase form: ball screw bars, full bar length, or specified cut lengths.
  • Models and quantities: mixed models or separate quantity for each model.
  • Matching nuts: nuts included, separate nuts, quantity per screw, and packing request.
  • Packing method, lead time, batch, split shipment, and shipment photo request.

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

  • Common models for the target market, bar length, nut pairing, and first-batch quantity.
  • Neutral packing, labels, carton marks, batch information, and shipment photo requests.
  • Repeat purchasing rhythm and whether cutting or end machining may be added later.
