Re: pic: Two-speed low profile gearbox + PTO

The debate on whether encoders should be placed in the gearbox or on the wheel came up recently in another thread. In the end I took away that placing it in the gearbox is both safer and gives less backlash (thus is easier to apply controls to).
You could put something like an S4 encoder on the end of nearly any shaft in the gearbox it seems. Just put a hole in the end of a shaft and add a set screw.
