Yes, this is the problem, housings. The HEDS are a nice little package, relatively dust-proof, just snaps together once you mount the mounting plate to the motor, I can put it on in about a minute per unit. I don't want to be making housings or any other special stuff. I sell these motor/encoder units just to help move along my servo amps.
