Design World just posted an informative video from US Digital, showing how to remove the encoder disc of an E4P encoder without damaging the disc or the circuit board.

Here is the video.

Thanks Design World and US Digital!

Thanks for the link Andy. I wish I has seen this a month or so ago before I scratched one of our encoder disks with a screwdriver trying “option B” in the video. Is is possible to buy just a replacement disk or are the encoders only available as a complete set?

I ordered the disks as a standalone piece directly from US Digital using part number HUBDISK-E4P-250-250.
They were $7.15 each. That included the plastic overlay and the aluminum disk. I wish that they would sell the plastic overly only - should only cost a few cents and could be sent letter.
