Does anyone know of a source to purchase 1/2-1" wide light weight rubber belts 3-6" long that can be used with a modified servo to control the zoom function on a SLR Digital camera? The servo is modified so that it runs continuously...Thanks!

You might blend parts from http://www.servocity.com/. These guys have a lot of ways to use servo outputs for other applications. I don't think they have all you need. If you get something like the new shaft adapters.

Then you might have to look at a place like SDP/SI at http://www.sdp-si.com/

You'll have to dig but I know the parts you're looking for are at these two places. These are candy stores to electromechanical geeks.

Try searching from this page from the left hand columb. There is a ton of stuff here.

I keep looking at these. You got me started thinking again. Look for the timing pulleys and timing belts and plastic timing pulleys. Pick a pulley that matches a shaft size from the Servo output drive unit from the servo city site. Pick a belt that matches the pitch, (Teeth) and width of the pulley. You're on you own to figure out the diameter.

Thanks Dan for all the help! The last link with the belts looks like it could be what I need.
