Overload Limiter for Electric Hoist

The load limiter is a dedicated overload safety protection device for electric hoists, using side-press or pin-type sensors to real-time detect wire rope tension. When the load reaches 90% of rated capacity, it gives a pre-alarm; when exceeding 105%~110%, it automatically cuts off hoisting power with audible and visual alarm. Covering capacities from 0.5t to 100t, it is easy to install and fast to respond, effectively preventing overload operations and serving as an essential safety protection device for electric hoists.

    Introduction

    The load limiter consists of a sensor, control instrument and connecting cable. The sensor is installed at the wire rope fixed end or pulley shaft of the electric hoist, converting wire rope tension into electrical signals, which are amplified and compared with set values by the control instrument. When the load reaches the pre-alarm value, it gives audible and visual prompts; when reaching the alarm value, it immediately cuts off the hoisting mechanism control circuit while retaining lowering function for unloading. Adopting digital circuit design with configurable parameters via buttons, it features self-diagnosis, fault alarm and load display, widely compatible with various wire rope electric hoists and complying with national crane safety regulations.

    Our Advantage

    Real-time monitoring for overload protection

    Sensor real-time collects wire rope tension signals with response time ≤0.5s, immediately cutting off hoisting power upon overload, effectively preventing accidents such as wire rope fracture and structural deformation caused by overload operations.

    Easy installation with strong adaptability

    Side-press sensor can be directly clamped onto the wire rope without modifying the hoist structure; pin-type replaces the original pulley shaft directly, with flexible installation methods compatible with 0.5t~100t various electric hoists.

    High accuracy and stable reliability

    Using high-precision resistance strain sensor and digital processing circuit, overall accuracy reaches ±3% with low temperature drift and strong anti-interference, maintaining stable and accurate performance after long-term use, avoiding false or missed alarms.

    Intuitive audible and visual alarm

    Control instrument is equipped with LED digital display of current load; upon overload, red indicator flashes and buzzer alarms, allowing operators to intuitively grasp load status and take timely measures, significantly improving operation safety.

    Maintenance-free with long service life

    Fully sealed structure with protection grade IP65, dust-proof and moisture-proof, adapting to harsh environments such as workshops and outdoors; no moving wear parts, requiring no maintenance under normal use with service life over 10 years.
