Making precise adjustments to your equipment based on wind speed and wind direction means you need data that you can rely on. FT wind sensors bring the latest developments in software processing and aeroacoustics to give you the best performance, efficiency and reliability at all times.
High levels of data availability enables a greater level of control to increase your output, reduce maintenance and improve the profitability of your system. Below are a selection of wind control system applications FT wind sensors are ideally suited for:
Accurate wind direction data enables the turbine to yaw (turn) into the wind, maximising power generation. Wind speed monitoring ensures the wind turbine is within the power operating range, control the brakes and adjust the pitch of the blades for optimum power production. Find out more about how FT has been leading the way in wind control systems for turbines for over 25 years.
Precision agriculture is a rapidly growing industry with diverse requirements for wind and airflow sensors used in spreading, spraying, and processing. Agricultural environments can quickly become dirty and dusty, and when used in vehicle-mounted operations, wind sensors are also exposed to significant shocks and vibrations. Discover how FT protects our sensors against these challenges and more through extreme testing.
In manufacturing environments, the required speed range can be very low and demands acute precision. This necessitates a highly responsive and accurate airflow measuring device.
Unique to FT wind sensors, Acu-Res® software automatically compensates for changes in air temperature, pressure, and humidity to ensure data continuity.
FT7 Series wind sensors are the fit-and-forget solution for maintenance-free operation year-round, even in the harshest conditions.

FT6 Series wind sensors are designed for professional performance while minimising weight impact on the end user.
Corrosion Resistant: Tested to category C5-M High of BS EN ISO 12944 (1998) in a neutral salt spray atmosphere for 1440 hours.
Mechanical Shock Test Ea and CAF2656. Peak acceleration: 50g. Duration: 11ms. Pulse shape: half-sine.
Sealed to IPX6K, IP66 and IP67. Protected against high velocity water jets with increased pressure, access to hazardous parts and against solid foreign objects. Submerged in one metre depth of water for 30 minutes, and exposed to a dust chamber for 8 hours.
Anti-Icing Test: With the heater switched on, the sensor was exposed to freezing rain in an airflow of 15m/s at -15°C. Even when 37mm of ice had built up on the test bar the sensor itself remained ice-free. De-Icing Test: The sensor was ice-free in under 5 minutes.
