In industrial automation, encoders convert motion—rotational or linear—into precise electrical signals. When an encoder fails, it can halt your entire operation, leading to costly downtime.
Our specialist encoder repair service in the UK provides a budget-friendly alternative to full replacement, restoring full functionality quickly and reliably.
With over 20 years’ experience, we deliver professional repairs backed by a no fix, no fee guarantee — you only pay if we successfully repair your unit.
Key advantages:
Faster turnaround vs replacing the unit
Reduced capital expenditure
Minimise machine downtime
Extend the life of your existing encoder
Technical support & diagnostics included
If you’re not sure if your encoder is repairable, request a free inspection and repair quotation.
We repair and service a wide range of types of damaged, malfunctioning or worn-out encoders, including:
Incremental encoders
Absolute encoders
Linear encoders
Rotary and shaft encoders
Serial / parallel encoders
We support and repair encoders from all the main brands: Steadman, Stahl, Bei, Heidenhain, Omron, Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Leine & Linde, Dynapar, Allen Bradley, Baumer, GE Fanuc, Tamagawa, Yasakwa, Tekel, Fincor. If you have an encoder from any other manufacturer we will probably still be able to assist you.
With 20 years of experience we are able to offer a professional yet cost-effective encoder repair service to our customers with quality guaranteed.
Encoders can fail due to physical issues like shaft damage, bearing wear and dirt or moisture contamination, or they can fall foul of electrical problems such as faulty wiring, signal loss, incorrect power and electromagnetic interference.
Environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, vibration and shocks can also cause or exacerbate encoder failure.
Our specialist encoder repair technicians have dealt with all these problems and more over the years, and are wizards when it comes to troubleshooting encoder faults, even with older or custom encoders, if necessary using reverse engineering when original schematics are not available.
Over our many years in business repairing and servicing all types of industrial electronic equipment we have streamlined our encoder diagnostic and repair process to ensure the most reliable, quick and cost-effective outcomes.
Our work on encoders proceeds as follows:
Diagnostics & Initial Assessment
We begin by examining the unit, using visual inspection and electrical testing to identify faults.
Fault Analysis & Calibration
Using multimeters and oscilloscopes, we pinpoint electrical issues, calibration errors, or signal integrity problems.
Mechanical & Coupling Repair
We check and rework shaft alignment, bearings, housings, and coupling mechanisms to ensure vibration-free operation.
Reverse Engineering (if required)
For older or custom encoders without existing schematics, we reverse engineer components to rebuild functionality.
Final Testing & Quality Assurance
After repair, we test the encoder’s accuracy, resolution, and electrical outputs to ensure it meets original specifications.
If the encoder is beyond repair, we can offer a replacement model or equivalent alternative.
The encoder manufacturers we support are:
