bearings and keyways and shafts, oh my!
OK, folks, I'm curious as to where I should shop for such things.
Someone directed me to Hub City, but all I found there were bearings. I tried Tractor Supply Co., but found even less. Tell me, where can I go shopping for these basic parts? -- -Ed Falk, http://thespamdiaries.blogspot.com/ |

Sufficient to build an electric art vehicle. I'm talking maybe 1-1.5" shafts, gears, bearings, and electric motors. -- -Ed Falk, http://thespamdiaries.blogspot.com/ |

The better competitors to Tractor Supply should have the bearings and
sprockets you need for the 1" to 1-1/2" range of shafts. In the midwest we have Fleet Farm. If that doesn't work these folks are ok on standard parts. http://www.surpluscenter.com/powerTr...ame=powerTrans Surplus center is very good source for surplus/cheap motors. (just received an order for 44 small DC gear motors, they replaced a previous DOA motor with no questions asked) Loose gears are something to avoid. The tolerances on shaft spacing are way to tight to consider DIY. Go with sprockets and chain or gear case assemblies. Best thing is to find suitable motor with integral gear drive. http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...tname=electric Edward A.

I buy my keyways from them. Prices are great! Shipping is neglible. I also get most of my keyholes from them. Imported..shrug..but within specs.

You know, there must be a special circle of hell reserved for web developers who use javascript to do the job that a simple href tag could do. Their web page is nearly unusable.

Usually, they ship in labelled poly bags. Last time, though, they just threw them all into one big box - no labelling, no bubble wrap, nothing! They came through without any damage, but I'll be damned if I will sort through them all. What a mess! From now on, I'm buying locally. One size at a time. John Martin |
