Where to buy rotary encoders on Oz?

[Splint]

Hi All,
I think I have a faulty encoder on one of my servos and was wondering where is a good place to buy a replacement encoder. I understand US Digital manufacture encoders which are reasonably priced, have pretty good resolution and are not overly critical on the alignment when installed. I'm not sure who supplies them, any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Split

I don't know where you could get encoders in Oz but you can buy Renco encoders off ebay for $20 USD each. They are getting rid off them because they aren't ROHS compliant which I think is because they have lead in them.

They don't ship to Oz so you would have to get a friend in the US or Canada to ship them to you.

Hi

Only just saw your post. I buy most of my encoders from Control Logic. Pricing is pretty good. Supprisingly, even Farnell and RS components can have some reasonable priced ones.
