A device for controlling a swinging of a load suspended from a motorized slidable element is described. The controlling device includes a control unit and an inertial platform. The control unit is provided with means to measure and control the speed of the motorized slidable element and is able to process the values representative of the inclination angle of the cable with respect to the vertical to calculate and to impart control actions in order to dynamically control the speed of the motorized slidable element as a function of a desired inclination angle of the cable with respect to the vertical.

A control method controls a movable member of an excavator including a movable member holding a load, an actuator with electric motor and static brake, a control unit and a motion sensor unit. Static brake and electric motor generate respectively an upper threshold brake force and an upper threshold motor force. The control method includes: an immobilization step: static brake generates the upper threshold brake force and the electric motor is stopped; a slippage detection step: the control unit detects whether electric actuator is moving despite the static brake, in case the electric actuator is moving, a motor energizing step: electric motor generates a motor force equal or superior to upper threshold brake force in a direction opposite to the slippage direction, and after the motor energizing step, a brake release step: the control unit releases the static brake.

The invention relates to an electro-hydraulic device for moving a jib for a tower crane, in which device the motor of the hydraulic unit is switched off when the position of the jib is not altered for a predetermined time period.

A movement device is moved along an X axis and a Y axis by providing a sensor configured to measure angle of rotation of at least one of a first and a second kinematic link about a respective axis of rotation. A force is imparted on the first and second kinematic links such that an angular displacement of the first and second kinematic links about the respective axis of rotation is achieved. The angular displacement of the first and second kinematic links about the respective axis of rotation is determined. The movement device is moved along the X axis and/or the Y axis in response to the determination of the angle of rotation of the first and second kinematic links about the respective axis of rotation until first and second kinematic links are vertical.
