Wire rope tension load cells as load limiters

Wire rope load cells are ideally suited as load limiters for overhead cranes, cranes, or lifting systems in general. They prevent the equipment from moving loads that exceed their actual rated capacity, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel, machinery, and facilities. They can be conveniently installed into existing systems without the need for mechanical modifications or adjustments.

Wire Rope Load Cells: Reliable Load and Force Monitoring on Ropes

For the safe monitoring of tensile forces on stationary or moving ropes, our wire rope load cells are the optimal choice. Whether for overload cut-off, continuous load monitoring, or the precise determination of rope forces or rope loads – our sensors provide reliable data and contribute significantly to the safety of your systems.

A decisive advantage of our wire rope load cells is their uncomplicated installation: thanks to their clever "clamp-on" design, many models can be mounted directly onto the existing rope without the need to cut it or carry out complex modifications to the equipment. Manufactured from robust materials and well-protected against environmental influences, the sensors prove their worth even in long-term outdoor use.

Your Benefits with Our Wire Rope Load Cells

• Easy Retrofitting: Quick and cost-efficient installation (clamp-on) on already installed and tensioned ropes

• High Safety: Reliable and rapid detection of overloads to prevent equipment damage and accidents

• Robust Industrial Quality: Designed for harsh environments, resistant to vibrations, and secured with high IP protection ratings (e.g., IP67) against dust and moisture

• Versatile Customization: Suitable for various rope diameters and payloads – from light guying to heavy-duty hoists

• Precise Monitoring: Permanently stable and accurate measurement results, even under dynamic loads

Typical Areas of Application

These specialized sensors are indispensable in lifting technology and logistics, on crane systems (overhead cranes, mobile cranes), in elevator systems, in stage engineering, on cable cars, as well as for monitoring architectural bracing and overhead lines.
