Length sensor for Grove KT200

The length sensor with part number 9333101455 serves as a precision electronic component within the control and safety systems of Grove cranes. Its primary function is to measure the extension of the telescopic boom, transmitting this data to the crane's Load Moment Indicator. This measurement is necessary for the system to calculate safe load capacities and maintain operational limits during lifting tasks.

This component is compatible with Grove crane systems utilizing KT200 or LWG208 configurations. As a transducer, it monitors the physical position of the boom sections and converts this movement into an electrical signal processed by the crane's onboard computer. Accurate feedback from this sensor ensures that the load chart parameters are correctly applied to the current boom configuration.

Length sensors function by tracking the displacement of the boom, often through cable-extension or rotary encoding mechanisms. By continuously monitoring the length, the system can adjust safety parameters in real time, preventing the crane from exceeding its structural or stability limits. Proper calibration and function of this sensor are required for the LMI to accurately determine the safe working radius and load capacity for any given lift.
