  • Patent number: 11692821
    Abstract: An inclination sensor system for a mobile work machine includes a MEMS inclination sensor and a further inclination sensor of a different type and a fusion device. The inclination sensor is configured to output a first inclination signal on the basis of an inclination that exists at the inclination sensor. The further inclination sensor is configured to output a second inclination signal on the basis of the inclination that exists at the further inclination sensor. The fusion device is configured to calculate a corrected inclination signal on the basis of the first and second inclination signals and to output same as the corrected inclination signal.

  • Patent number: 10807851
    Abstract: A crane mechanism and a work platform with a load detection apparatus and integrated inclination sensor includes a load cell. The crane mechanism for moving the work platform can be mounted on a base and includes a tiltable boom. The load cell is arranged between the tiltable boom and the work platform as only connection and includes a force sensor and an inclination sensor. The force sensor is configured to detect a force, a lateral or yaw or torsional moment between the crane mechanism and the work platform. The inclination sensor is configured to determine an inclination of the work platform. The force sensor and the inclination sensor have a common housing.

  • Patent number: 10289147
    Abstract: A manual control device for a control and operating unit of a lifting work platform, work machine or construction machine has at least one actuating unit which has an actuation element having at least one magnetic position element, and an evaluating unit having at least one magnetic field sensor unit. The evaluating unit is configured to detect a position and/or movement of the actuation element in a plane of movement based on a sensor signal from the magnetic field sensor unit. The actuation element is movable relative to the sensor unit along a further direction of movement perpendicularly to the plane of movement, wherein the evaluating unit is configured to detect a movement of the actuation element along the further direction of movement based on a sensor signal from the magnetic field sensor unit.
