Here is a list of the catalogs I have for small parts etc...

Small Parts Inc. 1-800-423-9009
  Nuts & Bolts, Tubes and bars  of various cross sections, Gears, clamps,
  connectors, balls, wire mesh, sheets, Plastic rods and sheets,
  bearings, pullys, belts, rack and pinion, chain, "u"-joints, tools and drills

Stock Drive products 1-516-328-3300
 Handbook of gears D190
 Handbook of shafts, bearings and couplings D200
 Handbook of Timing belts, chains and friction drives D210
 Handbook of design components D220
 These are the greatest refrence books available. Tons of theory and
 How-To-Compute-your-requirements information. I learned the difference
 between a U-joint and a CV-joint (Constant velocity) from these books.

Allied Devices 1-516-223-9100 (MTI 1-612-481-0256 in Minnesota)
  Gears, bearings, chain, belts, pullys, differentials, gear reducers

Linear motion products 1-516-328-3970
  Linear motion rails and motors. Controlling software
  X,Y and Z motion products


To the folks looking for an X-Y-Z NC rig:
  They have a product with the following specs:
  X and Y axis 200mm each, Z-axis 125mm 
  position accuracy < 0.05mm, Resolution 0.01mm
  CNC and DNC via RS232
  Product number HL33SBM242500 (Yipes!)
  Price: Who knows, they have a million options. It looks like $5K to $18K
