[Systems Engineering Teachers' Mailing List] Small gears, sprockets, pulleys, chains

[Brendan D'Arcy]

Hi,

I am trying to find a good source for robotics/mechanical parts, such as gears, sprockets (metal, preferably), small chains and drive bands, etc.
My students wish to use these parts in their mechatronic projects but they can be either expensive or hard to find.

We have pulled some of these parts out of old unwanted equipment (VCR's etc) but we need to find a regular supplier.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
