Imagine this: huge construction machinery is waving its steel arms, effortlessly lifting dozens of tons of heavy objects. Where does the power of these "strongmen" come from? A lot of it relies on thisHydraulic system! Just as the blood flow in our bodies generates power, hydraulic oil surges in the pipes, pushing the cylinders to extend and contract, allowing the boom to lift powerfully and rotate steadily. But if the force is too great, will the tube "burst the blood vessels"? If the movement is too forceful, will the machine "strain its back"? Don't worry!Hydraulic torque limiterIt's the "personal health care doctor" specially provided for these "hydraulic strongmen"!
The hydraulic system works entirely by the pressure of the oil. The pressure is too low and the machine is weak.If the pressure is too great, the trouble will be huge!
Risk of "pipe burst" Just think about inflating a balloon hard. When there's too much air, it will "pop"! The same goes for hydraulic pipelines and seals. If the oil pressure surges too high in an instant, the pipe may crack and the joint may fly off! The scalding hydraulic oil spurts out, as dangerous as a high-pressure water gun, damaging the equipment and even injuring people!
"Internal injury" hidden danger Even if the blood vessels do not burst on the spot, long-term overpressure operation will cause excessive wear and tear on the "heart" components such as oil pumps and valves. Just as people with constant high blood pressure are prone to heart disease, machines are also likely to break down prematurely, and maintenance costs will soar.
Loss of control of movement If the pressure is unstable, the operation of the machine may become "clumsy" or "slow". How terrifying is it when a heavy object suddenly jumps or gets stuck while being lifted? At the very least, it will shake violently and break things; at worst, it may lose balance and overturn!
Therefore, it is extremely necessary to install a "blood pressure monitor" on hydraulic-driven cranes and hoists to constantly monitor the oil pressure!The hydraulic torque limiter is precisely doing this "life-saving" job.
Don't be fooled by its professional name; the principle is actually very "down-to-earth"
Install the "stethoscope" Install one at the key "power application points" of the hydraulic system (such as the main oil circuit that controls the lifting and luffing of the boom)High-precision pressure sensor. This is just like installing a "blood pressure monitor probe" on the machine's blood vessels.
Real-time transmission of "blood pressure" data This "probe" is extremely sensitive and canInstant captureThe pressure in the oil pipeSubtle changesAnd it transmits the data in real time to the "brain" (host) of the torque limiter.
The "brain" quickly calculates strength: The "brain" not only knows the "blood pressure" (oil pressure) at this moment, but also knows how far the boom has extended (amplitude) at this moment. Combining these two, it can go very fastCalculate the actual "force" (moment) exerted by the crane at this moment.! This is more accurate than simply looking at the lifting weight because it takes into account the influence of the length of the lever arm.
"Stop" when danger approaches The "safe blood pressure range" (safe working load curve) of this crane has long been set in its "brain". Once the "strength" is calculatedApproaching or exceeding the safety lineIt acts immediately!
Call the police loudly The alarm bell in the driver's cabin was ringing loudly, and the red light on the screen was flashing dazzlingly, warning the driver: "Danger!" "Be quiet!" "
Automatic "blood pressure reduction" In an emergency, it canAutomatic trigger protection! For instance, immediately restricting the hydraulic system from further increasing pressure and preventing the boom from moving in a dangerous direction (such as stopping the lifting or extending the boom) is equivalent to applying an "emergency brake" to the soaring blood pressure, preventing "blood vessel rupture" or machine loss of control.
Any large equipment that relies on hydraulic power for a living, especially when working in complex environments, should be equipped with this "health care provider" :
Truck crane (tire crane) The main force of going from street to street and working at construction sites. Unstable outriggers, soft ground and overly extended boom are all prone to accidents. The hydraulic torque limiter constantly monitors the "blood pressure" to prevent it from "overreacting" and failing. The equipment of Weite is installed on countless truck cranes shuttling between construction sites, serving as the trusted "safety co-pilot" for drivers.
Crawler crane It has greater strength and often contributes to large-scale infrastructure and wind power projects. The terrain is more rugged, and the hoisting is heavier and higher. Oil pressure protection can effectively prevent oil pipe burst or structural damage caused by overpressure, ensuring the smooth progress of major projects.
Truck-mounted crane It can be loaded at the back of a truck and is flexible for loading and unloading goods. However, the chassis of a truck is not as stable as that of a professional crane, and more caution is needed during operation. The limiter can prevent the risk of the vehicle lifting its head or overturning due to a sudden increase in oil pressure when loading and unloading heavy goods.
Overhead cranes/gantry cranes in the factory Large equipment and steel materials are being hoisted in the workshop. Space is limited, so precise control and safety protection are particularly important. Oil pressure monitoring can prevent hydraulic system failures and the risk of falling caused by overload or misoperation.
Ship deck crane The space on the ship is small and the waves are rough, doubling the risk of hoisting. Hydraulic limiters must be resistant to salt spray corrosion and withstand jolts and vibrations. Weite's products are specially designed for such harsh environments, safeguarding the safety of maritime logistics.
True Story Lao Kai has been operating truck cranes for over a decade. Once when hoisting a large steel structure at a construction site, the ground was a bit soft but he didn't pay much attention. Just as the crane was being lifted, suddenly the alarm in the cab went off loudly and the red light on the screen kept flashing non-stop! He subconsciously released the joystick a little. After checking the records, it was found that the soil below the outriggers was slightly sunken, causing the oil pressure to rise abnormally for a moment. Fortunately, the limiter responded quickly and triggered the alarm in time, thus avoiding a possible overturning accident. Old Zhang was still shaken: "This' electronic partner 'saved me a whole truckload of goods!" "
Equipping hydraulic equipment with a torque limiter is not as simple as just installing any one. Weite Technology has been deeply engaged in this field for many years. Why are hydraulic products reliable?
Blood pressure monitors are particularly accurate: The core pressure sensor is the key! Micro and Special SelectionIndustrial-grade high-precision and high-stability sensorsHigh pressure resistant and impact resistant. Accurate pressure measurement ensures accurate torque calculation and safety is guaranteed. Just like if blood pressure measurement is inaccurate, how can one know if there is any danger?
"Resistance to manufacturing" is a basic skill: How harsh is the working environment for construction machinery? There is a lot of dust, strong vibration and large temperature difference! Micro and special productsThe shell is sturdy and sealed.The internal circuit board undergoes special protective treatment (three-proof varnish), which has strong anti-shock and anti-interference capabilities. It can withstand the "wind and rain" on the construction site!
"Smart brain" with quick reactions: AdoptHigh-speed processors and intelligent algorithms. It can quickly process pressure and amplitude signals, accurately identify dangers even in complex working conditions, reduce false actions (such as false alarms caused by slight movement of the boom), and make protection more precise and "considerate".
Easy installation and maintenance Sensor installation interfaceStandardization and modularizationDesign. Most common hydraulic interfaces are supported, and installation is convenient. Subsequent maintenance or replacement of sensors is also easy to operate, saving time, effort and money.
"Double Insurance" for Greater peace of mind (High-end Model) The high-end hydraulic torque limiters such as the Weite WT series adoptThe dual cpus work independently and cross-check. One finished the calculation, and the other immediately checked the result. In case one chip "throws a little tantrum", another one will immediately step in to ensure security protectionNever stop! The data recording function is complete, and the cause of the accident can be traced with evidence.
The hydraulic system is the "source of power" for construction machinery, but it is also like a "wild horse" that needs to be steered. The hydraulic torque limiter is the most reliable "rein" and "armor" that fits this "wild horse". it24-hour onlineReal-time monitoring of "blood pressure", precise calculation of "strength", and decisive "braking" at the brink of danger.
This is by no means an increase in costs; ratherThe most cost-effective investment in security! The repair cost of a single oil pipe burst, the loss from a single equipment overturning, and even the cost of casualties all far exceed the price of a reliable torque limiter.Safety is the greatest benefit, and stability is the true efficiency!
Master Li on the construction site pointed at the cab of his truck crane and said, "In the past, I relied entirely on my touch. I was always nervous when lifting heavy loads." Now that this "oil pressure bodyguard" is installed, the screen numbers are clear and legible. When the alarm goes off, you know it's time to stop. "Work hard and your family will be at ease!" "
Equip your hydraulic "strongman" with a micro and special hydraulic torque limiter! Let every burst of power be safe and controllable, and let every operation be as stable as a mountain! Only when safety is in place can wealth flow in continuously!
