Crane Rotary Gear Limit Switch

Product Description

A crane rotary gear limit switch is a safety device used in crane systems to prevent overtravel or over-rotation of the cranes machinery, such as its hoisting or slewing mechanisms. The purpose of the limit switch is to set specific boundaries or limits for the cranes movements, ensuring that it does not exceed predetermined positions. This helps prevent damage to the equipment, enhance safety, and protect both the crane and its surroundings.Heres a breakdown of the key components and functions of a crane rotary gear limit switch: 1. Rotary Gear Mechanism: The switch typically incorporates a rotary gear mechanism that is connected to the moving part of the crane, such as the crane hook or the slewing gear.2. Switch Contacts: The rotary gear is linked to a set of switch contacts. These contacts can be either mechanical or electrical, and they are designed to open or close based on the position of the rotary gear.3. Limit Settings: The limit switch allows operators to set specific limits for the cranes movement. For example, it can be configured to stop the cranes rotation or hoisting when it reaches a certain angle or height.4. Safety and Control Panel: The switch is often connected to a safety and control panel, where operators can monitor the cranes movements and adjust the limit settings. The control panel may also include visual and audible alarms to alert operators when the crane is approaching its limits.5. Emergency Stop Function: In some systems, the limit switch is integrated with an emergency stop function. If the crane approaches or exceeds the set limits, the emergency stop can be activated to quickly halt all movements and prevent any potential damage or accidents.6. Durability and Weather Resistance: Since cranes are often used in outdoor environments and subjected to harsh conditions, crane rotary gear limit switches are designed to be durable and weather-resistant. This ensures reliable performance even in challenging operating conditions.Crane Rotary Gear Limit Switch Specifications: 1. Switch Type: CRANE Rotary Gear Limit Switch2. Material: Aluminium3.
