Looking for Gear Supplier
I am building a throttle assembly and need to purchase gears to use between lever and potentiometer. I am looking to use spur gears and have found some sources but they want to much money for simple gears. Does anyone know of a good source for gears. I am looking for a gear set that would give me a 4 to 1 ratio. Thanks

Serv-O-Link (www.servolink.com) is a good source, however there is a $30 minimum.
MSC Industrial Supply (www.mscdirect.com) also carries small spur gears. I don't think there is a minimum, but IIRC the S&H charges are a bit higher.

Re: Looking for Gear Supplier
Hey Orlando, Florida, this is Leesburg, Florida. I bought my gears from servolink. Just google servolink and it will take you to their website. I use their gears for making my own gauges. Bought a bunch of them and now I have molds. So, when I need a gear, I mold it. Not the best way, but the gears in the gauges need not be super gears, they do not rotate rapidly or continuously.

Re: Looking for Gear Supplier
This might not work for you but I have salvaged quite a few gears from broken electronics, especially printers.

Re: Looking for Gear Supplier
I dismantled an old laser printer for gears etc. You have to be lucky but it's free.
