wind speed and wind direction sensor

Ultrasonic sensors have no moving parts, so they don't wear out in abrasive environments. Mechanical cup-and-vane types are simpler to understand—you can see them spin—but they need occasional bearing checks. Ultrasonic units typically update faster and can measure down to zero wind speed, while mechanical ones have a starting threshold.

The sensor bolts to a horizontal crossarm or a vertical mast, usually with a stainless steel bracket. On bridges, you'll need a sturdy attachment point like a light pole or a dedicated mast clamped to the structure. Kingmach includes mounting adapters, and we can fabricate custom brackets if the standard ones don't fit your local geometry.

Yes. Output options include SDI‑12, RS‑485, and analog voltage or current loops. As long as your logger speaks one of those protocols, it's just a matter of wiring. We provide pinouts and communication registers so integration is straightforward.

Mainly visual inspections for damage or bird strikes. Ultrasonic transducers might need an occasional wipe if dust builds up, but rain usually keeps them clean. Mechanical bearings should be checked every couple of years for smooth rotation. Heater circuits, if used, can be tested before winter.
