    Default Need Help finding Spur gears!

    Hey there membas!


    I have essentially made a lifter like Mr. D's worm lifter. The auger is finished, as well as the guide rail and the "lift" casing. I have

    a complete, working lift section bearings and all waiting for spur gears and a motor (which I have found and isn't as insanely priced

    as the gears i was looking at) I was looking around at QTC and found a few different classes of 40-tooth (ground) spur gears.

    Problem is there 61.97 a peice... 8\ ! does anyone know if thats a good price ??? Doesn't seem to be... Am I looking at the

    wrong type of spur gears?. I need two 40-tooth module 1.0-ish size gears !!6mm bore!! with hub and set screw as well it being able

    to have secondary operations performed on it, not sure about the rest but i think you calculate the pitch by the number of teeth

    divided by the diameter which is set anyways (not sure). If a good gear is going to cost that much I'd pay it but I mean seriously

    60 bucks for two little 2 & 1/2 inch gears??




    I am going to be posting another thread later giving all the details on the supplies I used, price and all (U.S. Ver.).

    I want to see the total cost since its only at about 30-40 bucks so far. cheap!

    (sigh) if the gears cost that much it will be like 175. We'll see.

    Most spur gear searches lead to those Nitro RC car parts. needs a hub and landing someone who can supply continusly will aid in others being able to do the same.

    Did you look at grainger? Also, might consider buying the exact gear you desire and cast your own plastic pieces. I don't think your loading requires hardened steel. Really do not understand what you are doing but thought I'd throw in two cents...

    Seems to me that there is something about D.P. (diametral pitch), that has to be considered. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rapidproto/mechanisms/chpt7.html
    It'll shine, when it shines!

    Thats not a bad idea beacuse really it would be better for the plastic gear to strip if there is a jam. I'm making a Worm ball lifter, well urm made it. I have the auger, track, supports and all ready for gears motor and a ball collector/feed. I will post a new thread explaining it all it just i have to have a special batt for my camera. The one I'm using now locks up my PC when I plug in the SD card. ??? and yes they both have to be the same, its like usually 14* or 20* right? (moderns gears typically being 20*?)

    I just found some brass ones for 18.00 (Approx.) we'll just have to see.
