Gear racks and spur gears
I finally got some gears in
After reading on the MechMate forums about the gears and doing
some research on where to get them, I finally did it. I purchased the 4 spur gears from
McMaster Carr for $14.49 each.
I decided to go with rack and pinion instead of a leadscrew for simplicity and design reasons.
I eventually want to build 4 by 4 machines and want them to work good. I hope that the motors and Gecko drives will make a good combination!
| Company | Model | Description |
| McMaster Carr | 5172T12 | Steel 20 Deg Pressure Angle Spur Gear, 20 Pitch, 20 Teeth, 1" Pitch Dia, 1/2" Bore |
| SSS | 200011 | Standard Steel Specialty will only take a check (money order?), but it doesn't take very long to get the racks. They answer emails promptly. |
The address for Standard Steel Specialty Co. isn't listed on
their website, so I had to email Tim Oravitz (timo@stdsteel.com) or you can call him. 800-356-9232 ext.228
