You might start here:

These are all rated for 6000rpm. Note when using these and other solid shaft encoders you probably (definitely) need one of the flexible couplings.

You can get Grayhill encoders from Digikey http://www.digikey.com/product-searc...=0&pageSize=25.

Ordering Direct from USDigital is great as well http://www.usdigital.com/products/en...tal/rotary/kit.

And CUI inc. has some amazing offerings and low prices also sold by Digikey like the AMT 103-V http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...1308-ND/827016.

Also read those data sheets.

Edit: Just read last post. That price range is not the best... You really need the CUI AMT 103-V stuff from Digikey.

We prefer a absolute encoder for steering position.
