Heavy Duty Wind Monitor-HD (05108)

Introduction to Sensor

The YOUNG Model 05108 Wind Monitor-HD is a high-performance wind sensor designed for accurate measurement of horizontal wind speed and direction in demanding environmental conditions. Engineered with durable ceramic bearings and a corrosion-resistant construction, the sensor delivers reliable long-term performance with minimal maintenance requirements. Featuring a high-pitch propeller design, the Model 05108 reduces rotation speed at equivalent wind conditions, helping extend bearing life and improve operational durability.
