I was just wondering how are u supose to attach the encoders found in the KoP? when attaching it to the 1/4 inch axle on the gear box i was woundering how your suppose to attach the axle to the metal hub of the encoder. Are u suppose to use tape or something or like coder pin, set screw etc. although it would destroy the hub.
Andymark has installation instructions here.
The encoder disk is plastic, not metal. If one is a little loose on the gearbox shaft, you can just carefully squeeze the sides of the encoder “hub” a little closer to make a tight fit.
Get the encoder mounts from Andy-Mark if you have time. Like Alan said, I had to squeeze one of our disks to get it to stay tight on the shaft. (Squeeze before putting on the shaft).

so a bit of a squeeze would work? cause i’m worried if it may slip, although now that i think about it it probably wouldn’t since theres nothing that would apply a force on the “hub” thanks!
