2.7.1.
Hook Height Winch Encoder
The Winch Encoder (Transmitter) is either fitted with a gear pulley which is belt driven by another gear
pulley meshed with the crane’s winch or pinion gear or directly gear driven from the winch gear. The
Encoder is used to convert the number of pulses counted during hoisting (up or down) into winch
direction and winch height values.
The Slew Encoder body is supplied with a standard steel plate with four mounting holes. To ensure
accurate operation of the encoder drive gear, extra plates/brackets (not supplied) must be fabricated
on site to connect the encoder body.
