Re: 1/2" Shaft Encoders
We are using 2 of the KOP rotary encoders, one on a 5/8" shaft and one on a 3/8" shaft. What we did was drill a hole in the end of the larger shaft, take a shaft that is the right size for the encoder, insert that into the hole and epoxy it in. Then all you have to do is build a bracket for the encoder and you're good to go. We have used this on our Arm for about 2 weeks with pretty extensive testing and haven't had any problems yet.
