Application

Crane slew angle measurement. The slew angle is the angle of rotation of the crane boom (upper) relative to the crane carrier (lower). Slew angle is also sometimes referred to as swing angle.

General Description

The slew sensor is composed of two parts, the encoder assembly and the sensor transmitter. They are connected together with 6 ft. (2 m) of cable. The slew sensor sends the current crane slewing angle to the cab mounted display for limit monitoring, load chart selection, work area definition and crane function lockout.

Several gear models are available to adapt the slew sensor to slewing rings with different tooth sizes. Consult the gear selection section in this document for more details.

Gear Selection

Measure the dimensions ‘A’ and ‘B’ before ordering and LSI will provide the right mating gear for the slew sensor.
The crane slew gear may be internal or external.

The dimensions “A” and “B” are all that is required to find the right mating gear.

Application Details

Several applications are possible when the slew sensor is used with a compatible GS550-V2 or GS820-V2 display.

Set slew angle limits to limit rotation to the left or right. Crane function lockout can then be used to slow and stop the crane rotation safely when a slew angle limit is approached.
Select the correct load charts automatically based on chart working area when the slew sensor is used with a rated capacity indicator system.
Define safe work areas when the slew sensor is used with a load radius indicator system.

Installation

Slew encoder assembly

Install the slew encoder assembly near the crane slew gear where it will roll freely on the slew gear as the crane rotates. The slew sensor transmitter is connected to the slew encoder with a 6 ft. (1,8m) cable; install the transmitter where convenient within the reach of the cable; the cable can be cut down to the length required.

The slew encoder mounting bracket can be installed in several different ways to best position the encoder gear.

Examples for mounting bracket installation:

Example of an installation on a crane:

Slew sensor transmitter

Screw the slew transmitter to a flat surface with ¼ in.
screws. If needed, weld pads can be used to facilitate transmitter installation. Tie wraps can be used to secure the cable between the encoder and transmitter.

Before first use, calibrate the slew sensor by following the instructions on the GS550-V2 or GS820-V2 display and in the manual. Note: the number of teeth on the crane slew gear is required.
