Decisive benefits ■ Low space requirements (telescopic) ■ Simplified mounting (including retrofitting) ■ Various measuring ranges and output types ■ Robust sensor design Elevating work platforms and mobile cranes are used for numerous different tasks. The available load torque plays a major role, as this determines which loads can be raised over which (lateral) range. Exceeding the permissible load torque may lead to serious accidents caused by the crane tipping over. Therefore, load torque limiters monitor the maximum permitted load that can be moved. In the limit area, the load torque limiter...

Wire eyelet, optional wire clip Deflection pulley (option) Measuring wire Housing with integrated wire winding and sensor element Draw-wire measuring principle Draw-wire displacement sensors measure linear movements using a highly flexible steel wire. The wire drum is connected to a sensor element, which produces a proportional output signal. Measurements are performed to a high accuracy and dynamics. Due to their high quality components, the sensors benefit from a long service life and high operational reliability. Safety in cranes In addition to the functional and technical characteristics...

Draw-wire sensors in outdoor applications Shocks, vibrations, heat, water, ice, dirt, stone chippings - outdoor applications are subject to harsh conditions that may impair the use of drawwire sensors. Although the list of influencing factors is long, corrective measures can be taken. In order to optimize reliability, close collaboration between the sensor provider and crane manufacturer is required, particularly during the concept design and qualification phase. The fewer environmental factors affect the sensor, the more reliable the measurements during operation will be. Experience shows that...

Incremental encoder Example: customer-specific sensor in fully variable support ■ Integrated plastic deflection pulley ■ High spring force ■ Robust plastic housing

Customer-specific designs More than 120 draw-wire sensors with different designs, measuring ranges and output signal types cover a wide range of applications. For special requirements that are not met by standard models, the draw-wire sensors can be suitably modified. A commercial implementation can already be achieved with medium-sized quantities. output types Draw-wire sensors measure the lifting height in forklift trucks
