    Electric Components - Steppers

    Hi I just moved to HK a few months ago and am looking for a local source for various components. I found WECL which is fantastic but it is missing some essential items.

    I am on the hunt for stepper motors - which should be no problem - I just couldn't find any in Sham Shui Po which is where I assumed they would be...
    I would like a shop specifically selling small steppers and DC motors.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    RS has a facility in HK. They're a pretty slick outfit for obscure electrical stuff and have stepper motors in their catalogue.

    Thanks for the reply, although I've checked RS out - they are very expensive and they also don't carry cheap steppers. I've tried Farnell and Digikey also. I think robotics type motors are what I'm after (need to buy a fair few). So does anyone know of robotics shops - or still a cheap place for stepper motors.
