I'm not sure what 3 axis means, but I assume you mean gray code output plus a N.O. push button.
I have used the Grayhill 61C seriess devices. You can get them with 32 detents per revolution and a pushbutton shaft. Lifetime exceeds yours, and they only cost about US$20. The detents and button are quite clicky in both feel and sound, but you can get them without detents if you prefer a smooth, quiet turning experience.
Digikey has them for $22.

I used the 61C but wasn't real happy with the amount of play in the plastic shafts and I ended up replacing them. They are fine for smaller knobs, but if you want a smoother feel for large knobs, the 61B series is much better. They have a polished steel shaft with more a precise feel, although the price was about $45 at Newark.
