Like you guys, I'm interested in using some of these inexpensive encoders. Compared to industrial units, they are a fraction of the price.
The casing and wiring is obviously not "industrial" Nema 12 etc, in nature - no oilproof military connector on the side of the encoder and no bearings... So how do you guys get around these issues? Fashion some type of cover over the back of the motors and run the cable through a grommet? How could you use one of these encoders for a spindle encoder? Make up a two bearing support system with a stub shaft that the encoder can hang off of? I haven't heard much about US Digital's cheap encoders. What about Renco encoders? Is the consensus that those are ok?
