Anemometer Wind Speed Sensor w/Analog Voltage Output
An urgent request about mechanical side
Can you please quote mechanical performance of this? Is there bearing or axle bearing inside?
- The datasheet for the product is available here - https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/1733/C2192+datasheet.pdf - however it is in Chinese. A little translation yields the following "Mainly use high-quality polymer carbon fiber as raw material, has a good anti-corrosion, anti-erosion and other characteristics, to ensure long-term use of the instrument can not rust, with the internal smooth bearing system to ensure the accuracy of information collection."
This would indicate that the Anemometer uses a bearing.

An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed, and is a common weather station instrument. This well made anemometer is designed to sit outside and measure wind speed with ease.
To use, connect the black wire to power and signal ground, the brown wire to 7-24VDC (we used 9V with success) and measure the analog voltage on the blue wire. The voltage will range from 0.4V (0 m/s wind) up to 2.0V (for 32.4m/s wind speed). That's it! The sensor is rugged, and easy to mount. The cable can easily disconnect with a few twists and has a weatherproof connector.
