If you don't need super accuracy, you could probably head for a magnetic
solution instead of a glass scale. One such supplier is Siko Magline:

But those are probably not the most "economic" (i.e. cheap) ones. If you
feel like doing almost everything on your own, you could also just use
one of their magnet bands and mount a position sensor (raw SMD part)
like an AS5311:
