Hi, I'm trying to find a simple encoder I can fix to the end of an lead (ACME) screw that will measure the distance traveled by number of rotations (as per threads per inch). I need it to have a display of some sort that shows inches, fractions of an inch and/or decimals. (Maybe even feet.)
I can't believe how difficult it is to find something that simple. I thought these things would be everywhere, but I've spent hours and hours trying to no avail.
Would really appreciate any tips to find it!
