NSK Bearing FAQ: Specification and Written Quotes

Send a clear photo of the bearing markings and list what is still unconfirmed. Add the spindle or feed-axis function and the drawing revision if you have them. The identification gap is resolved before you accept a quote.

The full model preserves the exact specification your machine or service record calls for. Bearings with the same bore, outside diameter and width can still differ in precision class, arrangement or preload. A dimension-only enquiry leaves those differences open.

Mark each line with its position: spindle, feed axis or auxiliary drive. Then add the full model and quantity for that line. This stops a support bearing being read as a spindle bearing, or the reverse.

State the pairing arrangement and required preload on the same line as the full NSK model. Name the arrangement as your drawing or service record gives it, such as back-to-back, face-to-face or tandem. Add the precision class and the number of sets, so the quote reflects the complete requirement.

Flag preload as an open item on your enquiry. Include the drawing revision or a clear photo of the existing bearing markings. The point is settled before you accept the quote, so you can check the offer against the machine requirement.

An alternative is marked separately from the model you requested. Your procurement team can track it against the drawing revision. Your engineer can review it as its own decision.

The buyer approves every technical change. A change to the specified bearing proceeds only with your approval. Until then, your original specification remains the reference.

The written quote gives you each item needed to review the offer before ordering:

• Product model and quantity
• Price and currency
• Stock status and estimated lead time
• Quote validity period
• Applicable shipping or tax terms

The document scope is confirmed at the quotation stage. Name the documents your quality team needs when you enquire. You then review the confirmed scope alongside the quote, before placing the order.

Yes, auxiliary bearings can share one enquiry with the main precision parts. Deep groove ball bearings and thrust bearings for the same machine can sit on the same list, which saves purchasing them separately. View NSK bearing products.

They are confirmed order by order. Give your destination country and postcode with the enquiry, along with your required date. The shipping method, dispatch arrangement and required transport documents are then confirmed for that order.

Check the product labels, the quantity and the outward condition. Compare the labels and quantity against your order line by line. Keep the original packaging until the check is complete.

Contact Feed Mechanisms Company with your order number and photos of the difference. Show the label, the quantity or the condition concerned. This gives both sides a clear record for resolving it.
