SCANCON Encoders A/S

Scancon Australia & Sensor Measurement

Sensor Measurement is the official partner and distributor for Scancon Encoders A/S and its specialized subsidiary, Eltomatic, across Australia and New Zealand. We bridge the gap between world-class Danish engineering and local industrial operations, providing comprehensive sales support, expert application engineering assistance, and rapid technical guidance.

High-Precision Encoders for Demanding Environments

When industrial operations require precise speed, position, and motion feedback under extreme conditions, companies worldwide turn to Scancon. Renowned for design engineering innovation, Scancon specializes in manufacturing ultra-compact, high-resolution rotary encoders, including some of the smallest explosion-proof (Ex-proof) encoders on the global market. Alongside them, Eltomatic delivers industry-leading magnetic encoder solutions tailored for specialized industrial applications.

Our high-quality tracking systems ensure smooth, reliable operations across major industrial sectors, including:

  • Oil & Gas and Mining: Safeguarding rig controls, drawworks, top drives, and winches with certified flameproof instrumentation.

  • Subsea & Marine Infrastructure: Deploying specialized subsea encoders engineered to withstand deep-sea pressures down to -6,000 meters.

  • Wind Energy Systems: Providing precise feedback data for wind turbine generator speed measurement, pitch control, and yaw tracking.

  • Automated Machinery & Packaging: Delivering low-inertia miniature encoders optimized for high-acceleration pick-and-place systems.
