Dimensional page
Ask ID, OD and length with the unit. If the sleeve is cut from tube, ask the stock length the price is based on.
| Ask | Buyer writes |
|---|---|
| ID / OD | Both numbers, same unit |
| Length | Finished or cut-from-bar |
nylon bushing sleeve
Nylon Bushing Sourcing turns a nylon bushing sleeve need into one request several factories can quote on the same basis. We do not own a lathe cell and we do not appoint ourselves as an authorized mill.
Gather the ID, OD, length, stock width or bar length if the sleeve will be cut from a longer form, the destination, and whether an equivalent is allowed when the exact item is unavailable. Those notes go on the same list so each plant answers the same questions about width or length of the stock form.
Three files the desk asks factories to fill
These cards are request portals, not a download library this desk owns. Any tensile, density or moisture figure a factory returns is that factory's claim for that line.
Material selector
Ask PA6 versus PA66, filled versus unfilled, color, and density in g/cc only if that is how the plant splits grade.
| Ask | Buyer writes |
|---|---|
| Grade family | PA6 / PA66 / filled ask |
| Condition | Dry or conditioned if known |
Document set
Ask the current page that covers the quoted sleeve. A plant ISO badge does not replace that page.
Request Factory QuotesQuestions each supplier should answer on stock form
| Topic | What the reply must say |
|---|---|
| Width of a plate blank | The sawn width that the sleeve will come from |
| Length of a rod or tube | Bar length priced, not a leftover offcut story |
| Finished sleeve length | Whether the factory will cut and face both ends |
If the exact nylon bushing sleeve is unavailable, the factory must write the substitution: what changed on ID, OD, length, grade, color or ASTM method. An equivalent that is only “close” without those axes is a new request, not a courtesy upgrade. Re-issue the line with the changed axes visible and keep the original line on file.
State bags, cartons, pallets or gaylords. Mixed sizes in one carton need a packing list that later batches can match. Incoterms belong next to the money figure so two offers stay comparable.
A complete nylon bushing sleeve request also names quantity by size, destination, requested delivery window, and documents that have to travel with the lot. Nylon Bushing Sourcing forwards that same list. It does not silently pick a default wall so a salesperson can answer faster. The checklist article shows the axes in one place. Application notes stay purchase requirements, not promised results.
When the buyer only has a worn sample, say so. A worn ID is a starting measurement, not a production tolerance. The factory still has to confirm the replacement ID, OD and length in writing. Do not let a verbal “same as last year” replace the list.
Files this desk will ask for — they are not our badges
- ASTM method named by the buyerOnly when the receiving plant will file that method on the quoted sleeve.
- FDA 21 CFR citationBelongs to a named nylon grade and lot. This desk does not certify food contact.
- REACH / RoHS statementAsk only if the destination plant requires it for that shipment.
- ISO 9001 of the named factoryA supplier system file, never a Nylon Bushing Sourcing badge.
