The invention provides a force moment sensor for an output pinion of a self-elevating platform elevating unit, which consists of a left input end cover, a transferring rod, a connector, a force moment input shaft, a sensor end cover, a sensor fixing flange, a sensor body, a strain gauge, a signal transmission line, a signal processing circuit and the output pinion. The transferring rod is connected with the connector, the connector is coaxially connected with the force moment input shaft, and the force moment input shaft is connected with the sensor body. The strain gauge is fixedly adhered on a strain beam of the sensor body, and the transferring rod is coaxial with the output pinion and penetrates through a central hole of an output pinion shaft. The force moment sensor for the output pinion of the self-elevating platform elevating unit obtains load situations of an elevating unit deceleration system in real time, immediately adjusts platform moving speed according to the load situations and performs platform overload protection. The force moment sensor avoids a pinion breaking phenomenon after overload, inputs all of force moment signals into a control system, monitors stress situations of platform pile legs in real time, is matched with control of a motor, averages the force moment of the pinion and provides guarantee for safe operation of a platform.
