Wind Speed & Direction Sensors - 2-Axis

Gill 2-Axis Wind Speed & Direction Sensors include the WindSonic and WindObserver ranges. All Gill 2-Axis wind speed and direction sensors use the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle to monitor wind speed and direction, with no moving sensor parts.

All Gill 2-axis wind speed and direction sensors are shown below with basic product specification information. Please select a product to view further details, specifications and literature. If you are unsure which wind speed and direction sensor is best suited to your application please view our wind speed and direction sensor comparison chart or contact us to discuss your requirements.
