Title: Lynxmotion tracks
Post by: 4by4 on January 24, 2011, 02:47:24 PM

For those who have used Lynxmotion tracks, does anyone know how to get individual track links? When I asked Lynxmotion they only pointed me back to the catalog page. Unless I'm missing something obvious I can't find any individual track links on their site.

I don't believe they sell it by individual lengths.  You can purchase 21 links at a time: http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-511-track-2-wide-x-21-links-23-single.aspx (http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-511-track-2-wide-x-21-links-23-single.aspx)

If you need to fix a connection after you pull out a rivet, you can purchase a package of 25 of these: http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-327-nylon-snap-rivet-fasteners-25.aspx (http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-327-nylon-snap-rivet-fasteners-25.aspx)

Note: I also use these fasteners some of the time to hold servos, instead of screws and nuts as it is a lot quicker to prototype things...

Have you tried emailing them to see if they have any loose ones they may send you?

Good Luck
Kurt

Yes I emailed - no dice.
