I wouldn't run encoder wiring in the same conduit as power wiring. Most encoder wiring is at a 0 to 5 volt level, and could easily pick up noise from the power or tach wiring which could mean extra or mixed counts. I would also have the tach wiring and encoder wiring run with shielded cable, with the shields tied solidly to chassis ground.
