Old copier parts work great for robots. We have pieces of an old one we keep in a box. Lot of good things. We about used a ratchet for our winch that would have came from one and use a couple other pieces to couple a motor to a shaft. If you look beside the van door motor in this picture you can see a piece of an old copier on its right between it and the pillow block. If you could see the top it has a little hole and says oil. We didn't use any though.
