I think it may be this http://www.industrialencoder.ca/downpdf.php?id=30 because of the mounting pattern and strain relief style but it still has the 6000 rpm limit. It also has 3600 ppm which probably means it is crazy expensive (400$<)

Pretty sure 1114 only ran their shooter wheels at 2,500 rpm. In this video they give out a lot of their specs:

You could always contact 1114 I have heard they are very, very nice and are open to many questions, it doesn't hurt to shoot them an email.
