Re: Opitcal Encoders

You might want to consider these at US Digital.

If you go with these, I think there is a connector assembly that you might want to purchase as well.

Or, try these. The price is right, not ball bearing but if you are using them at wheel speed, they'll last as long as needed.

Here's the link to a CD discussion.

Good luck.
