XFC2-2 Marine Automatic Weather Station

XFC2-2 marine automatic weather station is a standardized instrument used to measure the wind speed and direction data of horizontal wind field. This wind sensor is developed for ocean observation buoys. It is characterized by high strength, light weight, high precision and corrosion resistance. It consists of tail wing, propeller, nose cone, wind shaft, mounting column and other internal parts. In addition to magnetic guide shaft and purchased standard parts, other parts are made of injection mold parts to ensure the consistency of product quality. The tail wing, propeller and nose cone are made of anti-ultraviolet and oxidation-resistant plastic materials, which can ensure that the wind sensor will not plasticize or turn yellow within one year.
