Thank you. The grounded case was taken into consideration when designing this. The CIMcoder 2.3 (the one currently published) is my 6th revision on the design. This exact revison has not been tested but the CIMcoder 2.2 has. The difference between the 2.2 and the 2.3 is that the 2.3 has an extra .05th of an inch added to the top to keep the encoder's metal body from touching any conductive gearbox.
