I had a similar assembly on my Harding and I made special encoder shafts.
Could you make a plate that mounts right on the end of the motor case to
put the encoder on? then use the cover over the encoder

The encoders I told you about look like a tight fit. Sketch it up before
your order. USdigital does make smaller encoders that use a 1" wheel, or you
could try the digikey ones Jon Elson likes.

The USDigital encoders I have used are really finicky about centering.
Also, I had some intermittent problems with their encoders last year and
their idea of customer service was to charge me for another encoder and
offer to refund my money if I sent an encoder back that they determined
to be bad. The next motion control project I do will use Avago (ex HP)
or the CUI encoders that you can get through Digikey.
