I would like to add a warning about hot glue. Only use it on encoders used for speed sensing, if you need to sense position please use a set screw, press fitting or some other method that assures the shafts is locked down. I realize that the OP has specifically said it is for the drive train and thus we can concluded that these are for speed sensing. That said I personally made the mistake of applying that to a hall-effect pot which has lead to some unpleasant failures this year. I hope that no one ever makes the mistake I did.
