Do not write multiple models as one paragraph
A multiple models batch RFQ often fails when all models, lengths, and quantities are written in one paragraph. Use a table list and enter line by line, especially for similar-looking models such as 1605, 1610, 2005, and 2510.
Each line should be one quotable item
Each line should include model, length, nut type, quantity, cut length need, end machining need, packing request, and notes. Line by line structure helps the supplier price each item and find missing information faster.
Batch RFQ lists should show priority
If the inquiry includes samples, first batch, long-term batch plans, or split shipment, mark the priority in the table. The supplier can quote urgent items first and then evaluate later batch price, lead time, and packing.
RFQ checklist
- Table columns: model, length, nut type, quantity, accuracy, and packing.
- List 1605, 1610, 2005, 2510, and other models line by line, not only as one total quantity.
- Mark sample, first batch, long-term batch, split shipment, and target lead time.
- State cut length, end machining, labels, carton marks, and shipment photo needs.
Typical buyer situations
This topic usually appears in distributor stocking, repair replacement, machine retrofit, automation projects, and drawing-based purchasing. If a buyer sends only one model number, the supplier cannot judge the real use, packing risk, or whether machining upgrades are needed.
Details to confirm before quotation
To reduce repeated questions, the RFQ should cover product specification, use case, and delivery expectations together. The following points can be copied into the RFQ form or email.
- Purchase purpose: distributor stock, repair replacement, machine project, or sample testing.
- Specification: diameter, lead, overall length, thread length, nut type, and quantity.
- Machining: cut-to-length, end machining, and whether BK/BF, FK/FF, EK/EF, or other supports must be matched.
- Delivery: target quantity, expected lead time, packing, labels, shipping method, and whether shipment photos are required.
Common mistakes
A common mistake is asking only for unit price without application, quantity, or packing details. Another is sending photos without dimensions. This turns quotation into guesswork and can create errors in end machining, nut matching, or long-part shipping.
Next step
If the specification is clear, submit an RFQ directly. If the model or accuracy grade is still uncertain, describe the machine use and old part details so the supplier can recommend a standard part, bar stock, cut-to-length, or end machining route.
