Lock the fast-moving sizes first
Distributors should not stock every model. Lock the fast-moving sizes first: 1605, 1610, 2005, and 2510 are the most common shaft diameter and lead combinations for CNC and automation equipment. Keep these sizes in stock and order rare sizes on demand to reduce inventory pressure.
- 1605: 16 mm shaft, 5 mm lead, suitable for light-load positioning.
- 1610: 16 mm shaft, 10 mm lead, a balance of speed and thrust.
- 2005 / 2510: thicker shafts for heavier loads or longer travel.
Three ordering options
- Raw bars: unmachined full bars, cut by the distributor to customer demand, lowest unit cost.
- Cut lengths: end-machined to a fixed length, ready to resell on arrival, moderate lead time.
- Finished units: with nut and end machining, ready for machine assembly, highest unit price but also the highest added value.
What to state in a batch RFQ
- Specification, quantity, and lead time: for example, 50 pieces of 2510 raw bars with phased delivery.
- Packing method: wooden case, carton, or wrap packing; long parts need anti-bending protection.
- Labeling: neutral label, customer brand label, or standard export label.
- Quality documents: whether inspection report, packing list, and certificate of origin travel with the goods.
Distributor cooperation support
We can provide neutral labels and export packing so distributors can resell under their own brand. Batch orders support phased delivery to reduce capital tied up. For the first order, start with a small batch to verify specification and lead time, then scale up.
FAQ
How much should a distributor order the first time?
Start with a small batch to verify quality and lead time, for example 10-20 raw bars per fast-moving size, then scale by monthly sales.
What does a neutral label mean?
The outer packing and labels do not show our brand and are printed to the distributor's format, so the distributor can sell under its own brand.
