Quick answer

Choose distributor stock models by demand frequency, replacement urgency, and ease of resale, not by catalog size count. weimute recommends starting with common rolled ball screw models and adding slower models only after order records prove demand.

Buyer decision table

| Stock tier | Suggested model type | How to use it | | --- | --- | --- | | Core fast movers | 1605, 1610, 2005, 2010 | Keep ready stock for repair and CNC retrofit demand. | | Secondary movers | 2505, 2510, 3205, 3210 | Stock by market demand and warehouse space. | | Special lengths | Long bars or uncommon cut lengths | Keep as bars if end demand varies. | | Custom items | Machined ends, special nuts, preload requests | Quote made-to-order instead of holding inventory. |

Common models and first stock rhythm

For distributor stock, common models should be tied to first batch quantity and replenishment rhythm. Start with 1605, 1610, 2005, and 2510 where demand is proven, then add slower sizes after sales records confirm repeat movement.

RFQ checklist

  • Share your last 6 to 12 months of model demand if available.
  • Mark which models are for immediate resale, repair service, or project supply.
  • Confirm whether stock should be complete sets, bare bars, or bars plus separate nuts.
  • Define standard packing, label rules, and carton mark rules for every stock item.
  • Ask weimute to separate recommended stock items from made-to-order items.
