Wind Speed and Wind Direction Sensors
Wind vanes measure wind direction and are often used with anemometers, which measure wind speed. Campbell Scientific offers a variety of anemometer designs: cup, propeller, ultrasonic, sonic, and lidar. Most of our wind sensors are modified slightly from the manufacturers’ stock items so that they may be used with our dataloggers in research, air quality, and general purpose meteorological applications.

Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring
It has also become increasingly apparent in recent years that the wind turbine industry has recognised the importance of condition-based monitoring, especially for offshore wind turbines, where access is often limited.To increase reliability and minimise down time, many wind turbine manufacturers, owners and operators are turning to condition-based monitoring systems, aimed at predicting wind turbine maintenance issues, so that operators can quickly and effectively carry out predictive maintenance, repairs and replacements of components when needed, without the need for costly routine maintenance checks and visits. As a result, a condition monitoring system increases operational time, improves site performance and reduces maintenance costs for wind turbines, especially offshore ones.

Speed Pick-up
SU63
The Validyne SU63 is an AC inductive speed pick-up used for RPM measurement on high-speed rotating equipment. The SU63 is a tightly-wound coil with a laminated core that can be conveniently mounted on rotating equipment so that the magnetic field of a magnetized nut or part passes through the coil windings. The moving magnetic field produces a voltage within the coil proportional to its rate of change and the strength of the permanent magnetized part. The frequency of this inductive voltage spike is fed into an oscilloscope or counter to determine RPM.
