Adjustable levers, cabinet U-handles, revolving and retractable handles, handwheels, hand cranks, conveyor components, rod end bearings, tube clamping components, linear actuators...
Nookindustries.com offers the first fully configurable and downloadable native CAD formats for 2D drawings and 3D models for linear motion components on-line.
TraceParts and PartServer are also good sites. ThomasNet also has some data. All of these have files loaded by the manufacturers, as does the manufacturer section of 3DContentCentral. I think there are another couple sites, but do not remember the links.
If you are doing PT components, several manufacturers have a lot of good info on their own sites. Emerson EPT is a good example...

The machinedesign.partcommunity.com site grows all the time. The manufactures add new parts (which THEY certify) and new companies launch their component catalogs with the technology all the time, too.

Dead link
The follow CAD link to CAD Models does not link to the portal : http://machinedesign.partcommunity.com/PARTcommunity/Portal/machine_desi...
I use Machine Design regularly and this is absolutely a great site.
Correct link to free catalogs in ONE place, all CAD formats
Use this link - a great colleciton of hundreds of manufacturers in ONE place. http://machinedesign.partcommunity.com
Tons of manufacturer's 2D and 3D models
Machine Design has another site...although it isn't too clear how to get there, that has tons of manufacturers 2-D and 3-D models.

Check it out.
3d Cad models
Just stumbled on your website. As a somewhat new 3D cad designer this site will be very helpful in the future. (using 3D Autodesk Inventor)
Great site!
p.s. do you know of others that could be helpful in design at I could browse or does your library grow
the best 3D cad site
3D content central (solidworks) is a site of thousands of files
3D CAD models
The machinedesign.partcommunity.com site grows all the time. The manufactures add new parts (which THEY certify) and new companies launch their component catalogs with the technology all the time, too.
downloadable models
The SKF site for bearings is good. Also McMaster-Carr for a lot of hardware things
Another site for 2D and 3D models
This is a SolidWorks site, but it also provides Inventor 2D and 3D models: http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/parts.aspx
Hope this helps.
