To use either of these encoders, I'd have to raise my prices significantly just to break even.
Do you know of anything a little less expensive with a 1/4" hub and 1000 cycles/rev (lines) preferably with an index output? I haven't had any problem using single-ended encoders in my system, which have filters on the output of the servo amps. The Avago HEDB-9040-B06 would be great, but they seem to have discontinued the 23mm radius version that can go up to 1000 lines. Their parameter search feature on their web site doesn't work well.
