Mentioned on the IRC. SKF (and maybe others) make standard 62-series bearings with a built-in encoder. The PPR isn't huge but for measuring (for example) motor speed they look handy. Also potentially a good fit for some lathes, just because the through-hole is large, even if not used as a bearing.
Here is an example, with a price: https://www.123bearing.eu/bearing-BMB-6208-080S2-UB002A-SKF -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
