Alternatives to Pinion and Spur Gears

Hi,

I'm making a CAD for a Logomtion roller gripper and I'm stuck at the power transmission stage.

At the present moment, I have an RS395, a pinion gear and a spur gear driving a 0.5 inch hex shaft. My issue with this is that pinion gears and spur gears are hard to source.

Is there any alternative to this? I've attached a picture of the current design.

I've considered polycord, but the joining kit costs $1200 here and we don't want to spend that much.
