Robust wind monitor-HD 05108
The robust Wind Monitor HD 05108 from RM Young has important features that greatly extend the life of this popular sensor. It promises improved survivability for the most severe wind measurement applications. The reliability of the device is well-known. The sensitive vane and propeller combination has proven effective in countless applications in many disciplines. The Wind Monitor HD (Heavy Duty) model is designed to address the most common problem with mechanical wind sensors: bearing replacement. The HD uses extremely durable, oversized ceramic bearings to increase the life many times longer than standard stainless steel bearings. In addition to being more durable, ceramic is resistant to corrosion in environments hostile to steel bearings.
The device also features an oversized propeller shaft, high-pitch propeller, and stainless steel propeller nut, all features that improve the long-term reliability of the sensor.
The instrument mounts to standard 1-inch pipe.
