Toothed Belt supplier in Sydney, NSW.

Where would I go to find a toothed drive belt supplier in Sydney?



It is actually the y axis drive belt of a HP Draftmaster I plotter and the square teeth are stripped. HP, etc no longer supply this part.



The online offerings are from $US250-$US450 for a refurbished one. Yerr, pull the other one.



Asking here because I figure people might have had toreplace one or two whilst servicing electronic gear, e.g. RS has a rotary encoder that has a similar drive belt (appearence wise).



I figure that I'll remove the current one and rock up to the counter and askif they have anything like it.


You should try a bearing shop - they sell toothed belts. Otherwise have a look at this bunch and under "timing belts".

Thanks.

The T2.5 looks to be in the ball park, so I might try some of that. It is only a small belt.

The trick is going to be getting head alignment correct.

Nope, been there, done that and they do not have it. That is where I obtained the part number to google the "extortions"

Hi, You could try

I got some belts for microfilm readers from them about 4 years ago.

hmm, perhaps I might look elsewhere. I want a T2, 108 tooth that is 6mm wide, which they have, but their online signup doesn't work, hint THOROUGHTLY test your web pages.

Woah, now there's a technology I haven't run into for a while. If you don't mind my asking, were the readers Canon?, B&H?, 3M?

It might sound kind of silly, but if you find a place that repairs sewing machines they might be able to help you.

Try an mechanical engineering supplies place (sort of place that sells bearings, pulleys, belts etc)

I've seen small toothed belts in R/C cars, so a place that does them may be a lead too.

that approach usually gets one closer to the answer.

I got some belts and stuff from them a month or two ago by ordering online and it all worked OK. Their catalogue system leaves a lot to be desired, but there is a hell of a lot of stock on there.

Pretty much everything they sell is available from local bearing and engineering shops. I think the belts are made by Gates, which most bearing shops stock and supply, so you might want to give a local shop a call now that you know what spec you're after.

How long was your password? That is my 2c on where stuff is going wrong.

Thanks, I will wander around to one I recently found locally in the next few days.

I think probably 7 characters. It's obviously a self-written system, which inevitably has crappy bits compared to a well-tested system with a wide user-base, but I guess they were feeling keen and couldn't find an existing product that did what they wanted.

Hi Lionel, The readers are Dukane, Indus, NorthWest Microfilm and Gideon about 36 of them.
