How to assemble a DC gear motor with encoder

[gersonelect]

Hello guys, I have the next problem. For a proyect I have, I need to assemble a DC motor with an encoder to obtain useful information like movement speed, acceleration and position of two wheels, and I don't know how to assemble those. I'm using two DC gear motors and two encoders as are displayed below (12[V], 30 [RPM] and torque between 6.3[kg/cm] and 14[kg/cm]), which are OK because my project consists in a robotic platform that has to load a maximum of 15[kg] distributed on two wheels and an industrial caster one. There is a possibility I could assemble the DC gear motors with the encoders I have? or maybe I'd better buy an AB024 rotative encoder for arduino instead the encoders I have as an alternative way?

Thanks in advance.

Encoders are devices largely used with industrial applications, and they are coupled to motors at their axis at most the cases; Although there exist numerous couplers variants to sell, it is not rare to see this being done just patching up with simple mechanisms, like a plastic pipe. Anyway, are you sure that this small motor at the picture has enough strength to move the load and the encoder as well ?
