Local linear encoder expertise
Compact, longer-axis, non-contact and draw-wire linear 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 linear encoder and position-feedback technology from our Perth base, with service across Australia and New Zealand.
Linear encoder categories
Each category is supported through TR Electronic. Explore the dedicated TR Electronic range for full product details.
Compact linear encoders deliver dependable straight-line position feedback where installation space is tight. Suited to short-stroke machine axes, slides and tooling where a small footprint and consistent measurement are both required.
Longer-axis linear measurement systems support extended travel on slides, gantries and material handling equipment, translating straight-line movement into a stable digital position signal across a longer measuring length.
Non-contact linear position sensors provide wear-free feedback using magnetostrictive measurement, avoiding mechanical contact between the sensing element and the scale for reliable operation over long, repeatable measuring ranges.
Draw-wire (wire-actuated) linear encoders measure displacement by reeling a cable, offering a practical linear feedback option where mounting a full-length scale is impractical or where the travel path is irregular.
Selection guidance
Selecting a linear encoder means matching the sensing principle and interface to the axis travel, accuracy need, mechanics and environment. Use this guidance as a starting point, and talk to our team for application-specific advice. For rotary feedback, our rotary encoders Australia page covers absolute, incremental and multi-turn options.

Linear encoders convert straight-line movement into a position signal the controller can act on. The examples below are grounded in common industrial uses, not an exhaustive list.
Linear position feedback for machine tool axes, slides and linear stages where repeatable straight-line positioning supports machining, assembly and inspection operations.
Displacement measurement on conveyors, gantries, lifts and transfer systems, giving the controller reliable axis position for sequencing and coordination.
Continuous linear feedback for presses, actuators, valves and process equipment where stroke position must be monitored or controlled during operation.
Extended measuring range support for long axes and gantry structures, where a stable position signal over the full travel is essential for coordinated multi-axis movement.
Local support
Our team offers local sales and technical support for linear encoder and position-feedback solutions throughout Australia and New Zealand. From selection guidance through to ongoing support, we help ensure the linear measurement technology you choose is right for your application and conditions.
