TR Electronic supplier in Romania
Absolute encoders for precision industrial positioning
Headquarters: Trossingen, Germany
Who is TR Electronic and what does it make?
TR-Electronic is a German manufacturer of position measuring systems, headquartered in Trossingen. The range covers absolute and incremental rotary encoders (Drehgeber) in several families — I_24, IM_36, IE58/IH58, IEx582/IOx582, Ix99, IH76 and IH120 — linear encoders based on magnetostrictive sensors, glass scales, laser distance measurement and bar code positioning, plus compact drives (Kompaktantriebe) and industrial computers.
What distinguishes the TR-Electronic offer is the complete coverage of the position measuring chain for heavy logistics and industrial processing applications — from a rotary encoder mounted on a drive shaft, to a linear measuring system over the entire travel of a machine. The encoder families are available with functional safety certification (SIL) and in ATEX versions for classified zones 1/21 and 2/22, and the manufacturer recognises the ZVEI code of conduct on social responsibility in the electrical industry.
For installations in Romania, the TR-Electronic range makes sense on machinery where position must be measured over long distances or in dusty, vibrating environments — logistics, metal-wood-plastic processing, event equipment and renewable energy installations.
What do we supply from the TR Electronic range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Incremental Rotary Encoders Series I_24/IM_36 | Compact incremental encoders, available in small-diameter versions for mounting on motors and gearboxes where space is limited. They output a standard digital signal, suitable for simple speed or position control loops, with no requirement to retain the absolute position on restart. |
| Rotary Encoders Series IE58/IH58 and IEx582/IOx582 | Family of medium-size incremental encoders (Ø58mm), with programmable IEx582/IOx582 versions (programmable resolution up to 65536 steps). The manufacturer's ATEX versions are found in other families; the zone and model are confirmed from the datasheet. |
| Hollow Shaft Encoders Series IH76/IH120 | Incremental encoders with a large-diameter hollow shaft — up to 28 mm for series IH76 and up to 55 mm for series IH120 — for mounting directly on machine shafts. |
| Magnetostrictive and Glass Scale Linear Encoders | Linear measuring systems with no mechanical contact over the whole travel, based on magnetostrictive sensors or on glass scales for high precision, complemented by laser distance measurement and bar code positioning for guided vehicles or cranes. |
Why TR Electronic?
- Multiple rotary encoder families (I_24, IM_36, IE58/IH58, IH76, IH120) for different mounting and resolution requirements
- Linear encoders using magnetostrictive technology, glass scales or laser measurement, in addition to the rotary range
- SIL3 versions for functional safety, relevant on machinery where the correct stopping of motion is critical
- ATEX versions for classified zones 1/21 and 2/22, available on several sensor families
- Range extending beyond encoders — compact drives and industrial computers

How do we supply TR Electronic in Romania?
We bring in TR-Electronic encoders and measuring systems through EU supply channels, to order, usually within 1–4 weeks depending on the manufacturer's confirmation for the series requested. From the manufacturer's technical documentation we know the product families and the general parameters above; we confirm exact availability in the quotation. For a correct quotation, send the exact series (for example IE58 or IH120), the shaft diameter or the type of linear measurement wanted and, where applicable, the ATEX or SIL requirement of the application. We do not promise availability from a warehouse and we do not confirm lead times shorter than those indicated by the manufacturer for the code requested.
The software configuration and communication protocol of an encoder are taken from the datasheet of the model requested.
Frequently asked questions about TR Electronic
What products does TR-Electronic deal with?
TR-Electronic makes absolute and incremental rotary encoders, magnetostrictive and glass scale linear measuring systems, compact drives and industrial computers for industrial automation. The encoder families range from compact sizes (I_24) to versions with a large hollow shaft (IH120, up to 55 mm).
How do I choose a TR-Electronic encoder by series?
Start from the shaft diameter and the mounting environment: the IE58/IH58 families cover the medium size, while IH76/IH120 are encoders with a large-diameter hollow shaft (up to 28 mm and 55 mm respectively). If the installation is in a classified zone, choose a model from the manufacturer's ATEX families (zone 1/21 or 2/22), confirmed from the datasheet.
Can you supply TR-Electronic encoders in Romania and within what time?
We bring them in to order through EU supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks, depending on the manufacturer's confirmation for the series and certification requested. We do not keep this range on the shelf.
What data do you need for a quotation on TR-Electronic encoders?
The series wanted or the code of the existing encoder from the nameplate, the shaft diameter, the type of electrical output and, if the application requires it, the ATEX or SIL certification needed for the mounting zone.
How do I request a TR Electronic quotation?
Send the TR Electronic code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
