Technical details and manufacturing context for Angle Sensor

Definition
Within a Load Moment Indicator (LMI) system, the angle sensor is a critical component that precisely measures the boom angle of a crane or lifting equipment. This angular data is a primary input for calculating the load moment (load × radius) to ensure safe operation and prevent tipping or structural overload.
Working Principle
Typically operates by measuring the change in resistance (potentiometer), magnetic field (Hall effect sensor), or optical encoding as a shaft rotates. This physical change is converted into a proportional analog voltage, current, or digital signal representing the measured angle.
Common Materials
Electronic components (semiconductors, resistors), Housing (aluminum alloy or engineering plastic), Shaft (stainless steel)
Technical Parameters
  • Measurement range (e.g., 0-90° for crane booms), accuracy (±0.1°), resolution, output signal type (e.g., 4-20mA, 0-10V, CAN bus), and environmental protection rating (IP67). (°) Per Request
Components / BOM
  • Sensing Element
    Detects the physical change (e.g., resistance, magnetic field) corresponding to angular displacement.
    Material: Semiconductor material or conductive polymer
  • Shaft/Coupling
    Mechanically connects to the rotating part (e.g., crane boom pivot) to transfer motion to the sensing element.
    Material: Stainless steel
  • Signal Conditioning Circuit
    Amplifies, filters, and converts the raw signal from the sensing element into a stable, standardized output signal.
    Material: Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with electronic components
  • Protective Housing
    Encases and protects the internal electronics from environmental factors like dust, moisture, and mechanical impact.
    Material: Aluminum alloy or reinforced plastic
