No. The E4P is not designed for shafts greater than .250".

There are three options to read the RPM on a 5/16" shaft:
  • link it to an idler wheel with a .250" output, and have the encoder read that
  • turn down the encoder end of the shaft to .250"
  • buy another encoder designed for 5/16" shaft
