PRE OWNED YOUNG 5106 YOUNG 5106 AMRINE ANEMOMETER

The R.M. Young 5106 (more commonly known by its full part number 05106) is the "Marine Version" of the iconic Wind Monitor. It is a mechanical, propeller-type sensor specifically designed to survive the salt-spray and high-corrosion environments of the open ocean.

In the refurbished market, this is a "gold standard" sensor because it is extremely easy to repair and recalibrate compared to ultrasonic models.

R.M. YOUNG 05106 WIND MONITOR-MA (MARINE VERSION)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The R.M. Young 05106 (Wind Monitor-MA) is a high-performance wind sensor designed specifically for the rigors of the marine environment. Unlike the standard 05103 model, the 05106 features ceramic bearings and a sealed, heavy-duty cable pigtail to prevent moisture and salt-air from damaging the internal electronics.

The sensor utilizes a four-blade helicoid propeller for wind speed and a balanced molded vane for direction. It is a "no-compromise" mechanical sensor that provides high accuracy and a low starting threshold, making it the preferred choice for commercial vessels, oil rigs, and oceanographic buoys.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Operating Temperature: -50°C to +60°C

Construction: UV-stabilized thermoplastic with stainless steel fittings

Mounting: Standard 1-inch pipe (34 mm diameter)

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

Ceramic Bearing Technology: The use of ceramic ball bearings significantly extends the life of the sensor in marine environments where traditional steel bearings would rust or seize.

Sealed Pigtail Connection: Replaces the standard junction box with a sealed cable capsule, eliminating a common point of water ingress.

No Slip Rings: The wind speed transducer uses a stationary coil and a rotating magnet, ensuring reliable data without the friction or wear of electrical contacts.

Easy Calibration: The relationship between propeller RPM and output frequency is linear, allowing for simple integration with almost any marine data logger or display.

Field Serviceable: Every part of the 05106, from the propeller to the internal potentiometer, can be replaced individually, making it a cost-effective long-term investment.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

When sourcing these from Bhavnagar or ship-breaking yards, we pay special attention to the propeller balance and the "starting threshold." Refurbished units are typically fitted with fresh ceramic bearings and have their internal potentiometers tested for "dead spots" to ensure a smooth 0-360° directional readout.
