JW-SA256(HY08) UAV ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor is a compact 56 g wind measurement device designed for drones, unmanned platforms, low-altitude airflow monitoring, and mobile environmental sensing applications.
2. Product Overview
JW-SA256(HY08)UAV Ultrasonic Wind Speed Direction Sensor is a lightweight ultrasonic anemometer designed for installation on small aircraft, UAVs, drones, and unmanned mobile platforms. With a compact 50 mm diameter body and only 56 g weight, it is suitable for applications where sensor size, weight, power consumption, and response speed are critical.
Using ultrasonic resonance measurement technology, JW-SA256(HY08) can accurately measure wind speed and wind direction without moving parts. This structure reduces mechanical wear, improves long-term stability, and makes the sensor suitable for low-altitude wind field monitoring, narrow-channel airflow measurement, drone-mounted weather observation, and flight-control environmental sensing.
The sensor supports RS485 digital output and ModBus or ASCII communication protocol, allowing easy integration with UAV flight control systems, environmental monitoring platforms, and portable wind measurement devices. With a wind speed range of 0–60 m/s, wind direction range of 0–359°, low power consumption, anti-electromagnetic interference capability, waterproof and dustproof design, and operating altitude up to 4000 m, the HY-SA256 is ideal for drone-based wind monitoring and low-altitude atmospheric observation.
