    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.

Yes, this is an IMPORTANT point.  And, if the encoder electronics
loses track, it will almost certainly cause a servo runaway!
