RFQ checklist

  • Drawing: PDF plus editable file if available, with all end machining dimensions visible.
  • Working conditions: machine type, load direction, speed, stroke, duty cycle, and environment.
  • Product details: diameter, lead, overall length, nut type, support unit plan, and accuracy grade.
  • Quality documents: inspection report, material certificate, photos, or video confirmation if required.
  • Commercial details: quantity, target delivery date, destination, packing standard, and payment terms.

FAQ

Can weimute quote without a complete drawing? Yes for early budget checks, but production quotation needs end machining dimensions and nut confirmation.

Should I ask for C5 accuracy by default? No. If the machine does not require ground precision, C7 rolled ball screws may reduce cost and lead time.
