STT113 TOWER CRANE OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

1. Purpose
The tower crane is calculated and designed according to constant maximum load
moment. During the operation, it is forbidden to exceed the load moment. The
moment limiter is a device to inspect hoisting and trolleying motion so as to prevent
the crane from accident on account of overload.
2. Working principle
The moment limiter, which is located on the cat head, consists of a pair of elastic plate,
three micro-inching limit switches as well as installation support, adjustable screw,
housing and so on. When hoisting a load, the elastic plate begins distorting (the
distance between two amplifier bars reduced) due to the action of load moment. If the
load exceeds the stated limit, the adjustable screw on one elastic plate depresses
contact of limit switch located on the other elastic plate so as to cut off control circuit.
So the mechanisms stop running to keep danger and damage away.
