Ball Screw RFQ Plan: From Sample to Batch Order

Sample and batch orders are quoted differently, so the RFQ should state testing plan, first order, and later replenishment rhythm early.

What distributors and OEMs check differently

Distributors care more about fast-moving stock, labels, packing and replenishment rhythm; OEMs care more about drawing revision, inspection report, batch consistency and stable lead time. The RFQ plan should state the focus by customer type.

RFQ checklist

  • Sample purpose, model, drawing revision, accuracy, end machining, nut style, and inspection report.
  • First order quantity, monthly quantity, batch forecast, replenishment rhythm, and delivery rhythm.
  • Labels, unbranded packaging, carton marks, shipment photos, and destination country.
  • Approval process, feedback window, payment terms, and target date for batch order.

FAQ

Should sample price and batch price be the same? Not always. Batch quantity, labels, packing, and replenishment rhythm can change cost. For repeat supply, see how to send a repeat ball screw order RFQ list.

When should I discuss monthly quantity? Discuss it before the first order if repeat supply is likely, so production and pricing can be planned earlier.

Four checkpoints from sample to batch order

  1. Confirm sample dimensions, nut fit, and end machining.
  2. Confirm inspection points, packing, and labels.
  3. Validate installation, running, and actual lead time with a small batch.
  4. Lock revision, quantity, and repeat-order standard for production.

Submit the sample and batch plan through the RFQ form.
