I'm letting you know so you don't make the same mistake I did:
If you need a motor and you hope to put a shaft encoder on it then
DO NOT just buy a motor that meets your power/torque specs.
You need to get a motor that allows for an encoder (a longer shaft
that sticks out of the back)
Call Pittman: (215) 256-6601
  or
Globe:        (513) 228-3171  for a catalog.
   They both make nice DC motors which you can order with the shaft encoder.
Don't buy motors from C&H Sales or any other surplus distributor.  They
probably will not have what you want. 

Sorry, it will cost a little more too. :-(

Just an FYI
