What should be included in the first RFQ email?

Include target grade path (SmCo5 or Sm2Co17), drawing and tolerance data, operating temperature profile, quantity plan, and destination.

How quickly can we get an actionable response?

Most complete RFQs receive first-round engineering feedback and quote direction within one business day.

Can we discuss custom OEM requirements before PO?

Yes. We encourage pre-PO engineering clarification to reduce prototype and mass-production risk.

RFQ Checklist Before You Send

Required Item	Example	Why It Helps
Grade path target	SmCo5 or Sm2Co17 based on thermal profile	Quickly narrows feasible material and quote direction.
Operating temperature	Continuous 280°C, peak 320°C	Prevents thermal margin underestimation.
Geometry and tolerance	Ring OD/ID/height with drawing revision	Avoids sample mismatch and machining rework.
Magnetization direction	Axial or radial requirement with field target	Reduces integration risk in final magnetic circuit.
Quantity and destination	Prototype qty + annual forecast + ship-to country	Improves lead-time and pricing accuracy.

What Happens After Inquiry

Engineering pre-check for grade fit and data completeness.
Quote direction with lead-time assumptions and risk notes.
Sample scope alignment and validation acceptance criteria.
Production and delivery planning for approved programs.

Common Clarification Questions

Can I send a rough requirement before final drawings are ready?

Yes. Send your current assumptions first, then mark pending items clearly so we can return a provisional technical scope.

How should we handle engineering changes after sample approval?

Use a revision-controlled change request with effective lot and impact scope agreed by both teams.

Can we align on compliance files before mass production?

Yes. Please list required document types during RFQ so they are included in validation and delivery planning.

Suggested First RFQ Email Format

If your team needs a fast start, use this structure in the first email. It improves quote precision and reduces clarification cycles.

Project background and application scenario.
Grade path and thermal profile: SmCo5/Sm2Co17 target, operating and peak temperature.
Geometry and magnetization: dimensions, tolerances, direction, drawing revision.
Commercial scope: prototype quantity, annual forecast, destination, and target ship date.

What You Should Review Before Sending RFQ

Products for grade and geometry-level selection.
Solutions for scenario-specific constraints and validation priorities.
OEM Capabilities for design collaboration, quality controls, and delivery process.
Buyer Guides for practical checklists you can copy into buyer workflows.

Typical First Response Package

Output	Purpose	Buyer Action
Grade and geometry direction	Narrow viable options against thermal and integration assumptions.	Confirm baseline path before cost-detail discussion.
RFQ clarification list	Close data gaps that affect pricing and lead-time accuracy.	Return missing values and drawing references in one reply.
Validation recommendation	Define sample test scope and acceptance evidence for technical sign-off.	Align internal engineering and procurement gates before PO.
