Re: 1/2" Shaft Encoders

We still use the rubber tube method, and it works great. We have a small round cylinder that is the same diameter as the encoder shaft machined into the end of the shaft we want to attach the encoder to. We then use a small piece of rubber tube to attach the shaft to the encoder. This allows the encoder to not be aligned perfectly, and for everything to still work nicely.
