Cup anemometer FAP4

IP65with mA outputfor cranes

Product overview
The FAP4 pendulum wind speed sensor is designed for large lifting and cantilever rotating machinery such as crawler cranes and bridge inspection vehicles. Its pendulum counterweight design allows swing up to ±90° and self-stabilisation to the vertical axis, enabling continuous horizontal wind speed measurement on inclined or rotating equipment.

Product features

• Non-contact magnetic measurement principle for high repeatability and reliability
• Counterweight module and mechanical design adapted for gravity machinery and heavy-load applications
• Available in wide measuring ranges with low starting threshold
• Corrosion-resistant metal housing and anodized aluminium cups for harsh environments
• Standard M12 connector and 4–20 mA output for easy integration with industrial control systems
