The AMT encoders appear to work very well. They do have one little
quirk. At least on
some instances, there is a looseness between the molded plastic shaft
adapters and the
encoder ring that slips over the splines on that. Either super glue or
something like
RTV can be used to secure the ring so it doesn't rattle.
