Where to buy small metal motor gears?

Question

Looking to buy some small replacement metal gears. Is there a reputable place online that sells this stuff?

McMaster-Carr is reputable and has high quality but you will find them expensive if you are just looking for hobbyist stuff: https://www.mcmaster.com/#gears/=1ba8nfs

Another source in the UK who will ship world wide is;

Farnell themselves will supply some gears, but they are mostly plastic;

It depends on where you are and what your application is, there are a number of online suppliers for robotics parts that will have some supplies and could be worth searching for.

Kind regards

Chris,

This is a tough one. I used to have a few good sources, but they have gone out of business. A quick google search reviled this interesting shop.

https://www.smallparts.com.au/store/categories/gears/

Other places that I used are ebay and amazon. Local hobby stores that carry R/C cars and planes are another good choice.

Hopefully some other members here will have other good ideas.

Good luck!

Gene

Depending on exactly what you want, Meccano gears are available, both original (second hand) at fair prices and newly manufactured at rather higher cost.
