Re: Encoders on the opposite end of the shaft

So, maybe cogged belt drive w/ tensioner is the answer and that's why
so many machines use it. Then, as Jon says, there's no problem
putting the encoder on the motor; on a 1:1 setup you could put the
tach on the screw on the same end. And then, the wide, wide world of
cheap motors would be your playground.

I've been finding quotes on big (Bport size) used "real" servos in
the 1/3 of new price. Since new is $1000 and up, that's a problem ...
