Local incremental encoder expertise
Pulse-based incremental rotary encoders for speed, direction and counting feedback across Australian industry. Sensor Measurement is the official TR Electronic Australia representative, offering local sales and technical support from our Perth base, with service across Australia and New Zealand. We help you select the right incremental encoder for your drive, controller and operating conditions.
Incremental encoder formats
Each family is supported through TR Electronic. Explore the TR Electronic range for full product details.
TR Electronic incremental encoders are built to be extremely robust, with programmable and explosion-proof variants available to match demanding industrial and hazardous-area duties.
Pulse-based incremental encoders generate a square-wave signal proportional to shaft rotation, giving reliable speed and counting feedback for motors, conveyors and processing lines where a reference position is re-established on startup.
Programmable incremental encoders allow pulse count and output signal to be set to suit the connected drive or controller, reducing spares variety and letting one encoder family serve several machines with different resolution needs.
Heavy-duty incremental encoders are built to tolerate vibration, shock and contamination, maintaining dependable pulse feedback on mobile plant, outdoor machinery and harsh industrial floors where standard housings would not last.
Explosion-proof incremental encoders suit hazardous-area duties where combustible atmospheres are present, delivering speed and counting feedback without compromising zone classification or equipment integrity.
Selection guidance
Incremental encoders report speed and count rather than true position, so selection centres on the signal your controller needs and the conditions at the mounting point. Consider these four areas as a starting point, and talk to our team for application-specific advice.
Applications
Incremental encoders are used wherever rotary speed or count must be measured for control and monitoring. These common applications show where pulse feedback delivers dependable results.
Incremental encoders mount to conveyor shafts or idlers to measure belt speed, supporting rate control, slip detection and throughput counting on materials handling lines.
Pulse feedback from an incremental encoder closes the speed loop on servo and AC drives, giving stable motor control for positioning and rate-regulated processes.
Incremental encoders synchronise cut, seal and fill operations to machine rotation, keeping registration accurate as packaging speed changes through a run.
On cranes, hoists and automated storage, incremental encoders provide travel and speed feedback that helps control movement and monitor motion safety.
Local support
Our team offers local sales and technical support for incremental encoder and positioning solutions throughout Australia and New Zealand. From pulse-resolution selection through to output matching and ongoing support, we help ensure the incremental encoder you choose is right for your drive, controller and conditions. We also supply the broader rotary encoder range and can advise on the wider encoder options available to Australian industry.
