Being able to buy the encoders through the motor supplier (which you have just suggested) enormously increases my confidence that they will fit. > If you have trouble in the website figuring out which components you > need just call the company. They are friendly. I might have to update my firefox, or email them. The trouble I'm having on their website is that from servomotor 3 down, there's an unreadable jumble of overtyped text. I can't click on the "specification" link peeking out from under the jumble, either. (It may be a hint that my firfox is too old. I can't imagine that everyone sees that.) > I recommend you buy the cable with the encoders in the right length. > They are made very well and if you do not have the crimp tool, they > are a biatch to make. Ah, that's a good hint. No scratching around for shielded cable then, I guess. > The kelling motors have a skewered armature and > that means that you do not have any cogging like a stepper motor.

Your experience with their smooth operation is worth more than anything I can read on a website. > I have it running since two years.

There's more freedom, and less dodging of existing machine elements, when you build the machine from scratch.
