I forgot to mention I had those AMT encoders on my RF45 cnc mill. I must say that they seemed to work very well. Most remarably once I had built some nice aluminum enclosures for the encoders and had the wires running thru surgical tubing to protect them in the full flood coolant environment. well one day I removed the screwed on cover to adjust the encoder count which is adjustable on these and I failed to properly seal the enclosure. The X axis started acting funny and I did not realize why until I opened up that cover again only to find the encoder was taking a bath in coolant (GASP!!) I took it out, cleaned and blew compressed air across it for awhile, and ordered another one. In the mean time once it was fully dry I tried it again to see if the problem went away. It did indeed go away and the axis worked as it did when new.. I received the new encoder a few days later and went ahead and replaced it anyways but the machine ran for almost a week daily with the encoder that went swimming... just saying!! LOL
