CAUTION: This email originated from outside the Walla Walla University email system. 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.
