A gearbox is coupled to a shaft of a motor. The gearbox is configured to be rotated by the motor. An encoder is coupled to the shaft of the motor. The encoder is configured to detect a shaft position. The encoder is configured to produce a position stream indicative of the shaft position. A coupling is configured to receive a separate machine shaft. A controller is coupled to the encoder and the motor. The controller is configured to receive the position stream from the encoder and produce a drive signal to rotate the motor.
