Re: Integrating Encoder Into Gearbox

We just ream a .25 hole and use some retaining compound to permanently attach our encoders to the hex shaft. The wires were then zip tied down without any slop preventing the encoder from rotating. I'm fairly sure 254 does the same thing. Never had any issues with structural integrity.
