Tower Crane
In tower cranes, limit switches are primarily used to ensure safe operation, preventing moving parts from exceeding safe boundaries. They limit the travel range of the boom to avoid excessive movement and collisions, control the rotation angle to prevent crane tilting or instability, stop the pulley system from exceeding safe positions to avoid wire rope damage, and work in tandem with load monitoring systems to prevent overloading. Through these functions, limit switches effectively enhance the operational safety, stability, and precision of tower cranes.
How our Switches are Used in Tower Crane
Telemecanique’s limit switches play a critical role in tower cranes, mainly by controlling the movement range of the boom, hook, and pulley system to ensure safe and stable equipment operation. They limit the lifting and lowering range of the boom, preventing it from exceeding safe boundaries or causing collisions; they ensure the hook does not rise too high or descend too low, avoiding safety hazards; and they control the pulley system’s range to prevent wire rope damage from abnormal positioning. With outstanding durability, precise travel control, and strong anti-interference capabilities, Telemecanique’s limit switches operate reliably even in harsh environments, significantly enhancing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of tower cranes—making them an indispensable component in modern crane systems.
Telemecanique’s limit switches effectively boost the safety, precision, and stability of tower cranes. The XCKM and XCR series limit switches, mounted at the top of the crane boom, ensure stability by restricting the boom’s lifting and lowering range, preventing it from exceeding safe travel limits. The XF series switches control the horizontal movement of the hook pulleys, preventing the pulleys from moving beyond preset boundaries to ensure smooth wire rope operation and avoid faults from abnormal pulley positions. The XCKVR and XCKMR series limit switches are mounted on the hook to monitor its movement, ensuring it operates within a safe range and preventing risks associated with excessive hook elevation or descent.
