I have only just joined this site and would imagine you have settled this problem. If not, check out the site www.sgmi.co.uk and look at the Handling or Products pages to see this kind of equipment and more.

You could try contacting a Company called Fenner Transmission in Blackburn i think. They specialise in drives of all kinds and may help if you ask for their technical people. I think their tel no is 01254 674171
