Hi,
I'm hoping Hugoneus sees this, as I would like more details on the encoder cleanup he did on the recent TSP video. Specifically, I have an encoder for a E3648A that seems to exhibit erratic clicks when turned at a constant rate (as if it is "missing" clicks during part of a full revolution). I pulled the encoder apart, and cleaned the contact fingers (it is a mechanical rotary encoder) but I did not have any grease on hand to be able to clean out the contact disk (without risking not being able to put it back together). What type of grease should I use in this case? Is there any specific cleaning product that should be used on the disk other than IPA? Thanks!
