Re: Need help with shaft encoders
US Digital does offer the standard sort of encoders with shafts coming off them as well, in fact. Also, we were trying to use the E4 encoders with our custom transmissions last year, but ran out of time for coding and such. So they're mounted, but we haven't gotten around to testing them to see how well they work. For the record, though, they went on pretty easily. Though, of course, we had the shaft customized, etc. to make it easy.

Also, the specifications make them look a little tolerant to play in the system. They specify +-.02 in of axial play and .01 in of off axis tolerance. I don't think .01 inch is a ridiculously tight tolerance really.
