Richard S. Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hello, Unfortunately, it seems that Nidec-Shimpo or suppliers no longer support this replacement part. The wheel is from 1982 I’m wondering if anyone has found a part from McMaster-Carr or Grainger that’s a suitable replacement? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 GreatClay has a listing: WSPDR8RG RK8 Drive ring 37.20 _055-074.qxd (greatclay.com) The Ceramic Shop lists a small and large ring for RK wheels: Shimpo RK Large Drive Ring - The Ceramic Shop There might be one out there, good luck Richard! A Reddit poster suggested 3d printing a facsimile to then make a mold from, hrrm Added: I'd look more if'n you'd post the dimensions and an image...

Richard S. Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 @Hulk Thanks, Great Clay is no longer in business and I spoke with Shimpo. I’ll have to see if McMaster-Carr has something that could be made to work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
