RFQ checklist

  • Machine type, axis, travel, model, quantity, and whether it is repair or upgrade.
  • Dust condition: woodworking CNC dust level, chips, cleaning frequency, and lubrication method.
  • Protection parts: cover, shield, nut seal, wiper, and installation space.
  • Screw details: diameter, lead, length, nut type, support unit, and end machining.
  • Request pre-shipment check photos for nut seal, cover-related dimensions, labels, and packing.

FAQ

Can a ball screw work in woodworking dust? Yes, but dust protection, cleaning, lubrication, cover design, and nut seal condition must be managed. For a woodworking CNC upgrade, see stepper and servo details for a CNC router ball screw upgrade RFQ.

Should protection be discussed before shipment? Yes. A pre-shipment check helps confirm the product and packing match the maintenance plan.
