Local encoder expertise

Industrial Encoders Australia.

Absolute, incremental, linear and heavy-duty encoders for Australian industry, backed by local sales and technical support. Sensor Measurement is the official TR Electronic Australia representative, helping you select the right encoder and positioning technology from our Perth base, with service across Australia and New Zealand.

Encoder categories

Six encoder types. One local partner.

Each category is supported through TR Electronic. Explore the dedicated TR Electronic range for full product details.

01TR Electronic
TR Electronic absolute rotary encoder with flange and shaft

Absolute encoders

Absolute rotary encoders report a unique position value and retain true position after power loss, so machinery can resume operation without a homing cycle. Ideal for safety-critical and multi-axis applications where position integrity matters.

02TR Electronic
TR Electronic incremental rotary encoder, robust housing

Incremental encoders

Pulse-based incremental rotary encoders provide speed, direction and counting feedback for rate measurement, counting and closed-loop control where a known reference is re-established on startup.

03TR Electronic
TR Electronic linear encoder scale and read head

Linear encoders

Linear encoders translate straight-line movement into dependable digital position signals for axes, slides and machine tables, delivering accurate linear feedback in measurement and automation systems.

04TR Electronic
TR Electronic wire-actuated draw-wire encoder with pull cable

Wire-actuated encoders

Draw-wire (wire-actuated) encoders measure linear displacement by reeling a cable onto a drum, suited to tight installation spaces, mobile equipment and applications where a conventional scale is impractical.

05TR Electronic
TR Electronic magnetostrictive linear position sensor

Magnetostrictive encoders

Magnetostrictive linear encoders use contact-free position sensing to deliver wear-free operation over long measuring ranges, ideal for hydraulic cylinders and harsh industrial environments with long strokes.

06TR Electronic
TR Electronic heavy-duty explosion-proof incremental encoder

Heavy-duty & hazardous-area encoders

Heavy-duty and hazardous-area encoders are built to withstand vibration, contamination, washdown and explosive atmospheres, supporting demanding industrial and mobile plant requirements where reliability is non-negotiable.

Selection guidance

Absolute or incremental?

The right encoder type depends on whether your application needs to know true position after a power loss, or simply speed and counting feedback. Use this guidance as a starting point.

Choose absolute encoders when

  • Position must be retained immediately after power loss, with no homing cycle on restart.
  • The application is safety-related and every position value must be unambiguous.
  • Multi-turn position over long axis travel needs to be tracked reliably.

Choose incremental encoders when

  • Speed, rate or counting feedback is the priority rather than absolute position.
  • The system can reference a home position on startup.
  • A simple, cost-effective pulse signal suits the control loop.
