Example RFQ workflow

Bearing housing RFQ workflow from drawing, tolerance, and material notes.

A repair workshop needs replacement bearing housings and sleeves for heavy equipment, but the original supplier part number is unavailable.

Important note

This is a scenario-based RFQ note for SEO and buyer education. It does not claim a completed customer project or shipment.

Buyer typeConstruction machinery repair workshop

Product focusBearing housings, sleeves, spacer rings, bushings, and custom bearing accessories

RFQ challengeThe product cannot be quoted safely from a name alone because fit dimensions, hole pattern, tolerance, material, and heat treatment affect production.

Evidence needed before quote

2D drawing, sample photo, worn part photo, or measured dimension sheet
Inner diameter, outer diameter, width, step, groove, and hole pattern
Material requirement such as bearing steel, 42CrMo, 40Cr, or bronze
Heat treatment, hardness, surface finish, and coating notes
Quantity, approval sample need, destination port, and repeat demand

Review workflow

Confirm whether the item is a standard bearing or a custom bearing accessory.
Check if critical dimensions and tolerances are complete enough for machining review.
Identify missing material, heat treatment, surface finish, or hole-position details.
Prepare supplier questions before quoting sample cost, MOQ, and lead time.

Manual review outcome

The inquiry becomes a drawing-based RFQ that can be reviewed for machining path, material, tolerance, inspection, sample approval, and export packing.
