TR-Electronic
TR-Electronic is a Trossingen, Germany-based manufacturer of rotary encoders, linear encoders, and compact drives with over four decades of experience, serving logistics, paper and printing, packaging, metal processing, woodworking, plastics, event technology, and renewable energy markets worldwide through subsidiaries and distribution partners across North America, Europe, and Asia. The company’s rotary encoder line covers absolute single and multi-turn encoders in standard, safety (SIL), ATEX explosion-protected, heavy-duty, customer-specific, and double-encoder configurations across a comprehensive range of industrial fieldbus and Ethernet protocols, alongside incremental shaft and wire-actuated encoders — with its newest Sendix K80 Performance-Line offering programmable, high-resolution absolute sensing and its CD-582-FS safety encoder rated for SIL 3 functional safety applications. Beyond rotary encoding, TR-Electronic’s linear product line spans magnetostrictive position sensors in tube, profile, and plastic housings, glass scale transformation systems, laser distance measurement, and barcode positioning — along with compact drive systems under the encoTRive brand with EtherCAT NC support — making it a broadly capable supplier for engineers seeking an integrated position measurement and motion control partner from a single European manufacturer.
