The S4 is panel mounted, meaning that you insert the threaded boss through a hole, and secure with the included nut. From there, you can link the shaft to your robot through any number of means, including a shaft collar, surgical tubing link, or simply pressing or gluing it in a hole in your shaft. If you've been using the E4P encoders before, you won't be able to directly drop in an S4, but rigging something up shouldn't be too tricky.
