Re: Mounting AMT10s to CIMs + gearboxes?

I'm not sure what you mean by mounting the encoder to a CIM and a gearbox. If they are mechanically linked, you only need an encoder on one of them.

Are these custom gearboxes or COTS gearboxes? If they're COTS, most COTS gearboxes have a built-in encoder mounting point. If it's a custom gearbox, maybe you can turn down the other end of the output shaft and mount the encoder on the back, like in the Toughbox series of gearboxes from AndyMark.
