Be careful as some of the inexpensive linear scales do not advertise 
their maximum slew rate or update rates.    If they lose track of their 
position during a rapid, how will your control system react?

Some of those linear scales were designed for linear measurements on 
manual machines.  They were never intended to be part of a closed loop 
control system.
