Use the term "encoder" or "encoders" instead of "rotary encoders".

I'm using the new AMT series from CUI, but I've used the little
encoders meant for user interfacing with knobs as well.  They have a
pretty good selection.

I usually refer to the catalog when I'm after something I can't find,
then I look up a representative product online and find out what
category they're filed in, then go to that category.  Some places put
them under switches, some put them under sensors, others put them
elsewhere, and a few places separate the encoders into motor mountable
vs human interface vs etc, so you can't see them all at once.
