Cross limit switch

The cross limit switch is a multi-directional travel protection device for crane traveling mechanisms, adopting a cross cam mechanism to simultaneously control four traveling directions—bridge forward/backward and trolley left/right—triggering deceleration and stop at set positions. Covering capacities from 0.5t to 100t, with 4~8 limit circuits and selectable transmission ratios from 1:15 to 1:480, widely used in traveling limit protection of bridge and gantry cranes.

    Introduction

    The cross limit switch consists of two sets of mutually perpendicular transmission gears, cam groups, micro-switches and housing, installed at the crane bridge or trolley drive shaft end, rotating synchronously with the traveling mechanism. Each cam group corresponds to one direction, with separately settable deceleration and stop points, achieving independent four-direction travel control. The product adopts a fully sealed cast aluminum housing with protection grade IP65; internal gears are quenched for wear resistance and durability. Cam angles are quickly adjusted via dials or screws without special tools. Integrating two-direction travel limits into one unit, it saves installation space and wiring compared with two independent limit switches, widely used in travel protection of various bridge cranes, gantry cranes and electric hoist traveling trolleys.

    Our Advantage

    Cross dual-direction integrated control: Two sets of vertical cam mechanisms integrated into one unit, simultaneously controlling bridge forward/backward and trolley left/right four-direction travel, replacing two independent limit switches, saving installation space and wiring cost with more compact structure.

    Multi-point graded protection: Each direction can independently set deceleration and stop points; when the crane approaches the terminal, it first decelerates then stops, avoiding emergency stop impact, both preventing over-travel collision and protecting traveling mechanisms and loads, with high safety margin.

    Reliable and durable mechanical structure: Adopting pure mechanical structure of gear transmission + cam-triggered micro-switches, with strong anti-interference, unaffected by electromagnetic radiation and voltage fluctuation; internal gears quenched, with mechanical life over 1 million cycles.

    Selectable transmission ratio with strong adaptability: Offering various transmission ratios from 1:15 to 1:480, flexibly selectable according to traveling speed and stroke length, ensuring cam adjustment range covers full stroke, compatible with 0.5t~100t various cranes and different working conditions.

    Easy adjustment with high protection grade: Cam angles quickly adjusted via dials or screws for convenient debugging; fully sealed cast aluminum housing with protection grade IP65, dust-proof, moisture-proof and oil-proof, ensuring long-term stable operation in harsh environments such as metallurgy, foundry and ports.
