Alurailtech

[young37215]

I have been unsuccessfully trying to contact Ian Cooper of Alurailtech because I want to buy more of his excellent servo brackets. I am guessing from my lack of success in making contact that he has ceased trading; is anyone aware of or can shed more light on the current situation?

Still no contact or information about the business although I have found a Facebook page. Last updates are from 2016 which does not improve my confidence that the business is still active. 

 

Is anyone aware of a producer of similar style aluminium servo brackets? There is one on Ebay which looks a pretty robust bracket but they do'nt have any provision for attaching microswitches.

Take a look at Dingo Servo Mounts, they have a good web site with a range of products

I finally managed to confirm that Alurailtech is no longer trading. I have a few of their brackets in stock but nowhere near sufficient for my needs. I have ordered several Dingo brackets but I would like to find something closer to the Alurailtech option which I consider perfect for servos and being much simpler than Dingo, they were half the price. Given I potentially have the best part of 100 servos, the bracket costs are considerable.

 

I have no idea how I could commission the maufacture of a servo bracket or what the minimum size of order would be to get a manufacturers interest; can anyone explain how the market works?

If you really need a hundred of these things, find a local flat sheet metal company, preferably with laser cutting capabilities and show them what you need. I assume a hand sketch with dimension will be good enough  This seems to be a half hour CAD-Job, you might be positively surprised about the price for the project. Choosing raw aluminium rather than anodized will safe you another few pounds.
