Transducer and sensor technology
SECO Sensor supplies innovative ultrasonic transducer technology for versatile sensor applications – not only in wind turbines
Our high-precision ultrasonic transducers are essential components in anemometry – for reliable wind measurement in a wide range of applications. They detect air flows accurately and without contact – even under extreme environmental conditions and in dynamic fields of application such as renewable energy, meteorology or building technology.
Anemometer with two pairs of ultrasonic transducers arranged at 90° to each other
Precise differential measurement of sound propagation times for wind direction and speed
Wide beam width for reliable signal even with drifts of up to 324 km/h
Solutions for harsh environmental conditions, extreme weather and cold temperatures
SECO recommends the following for wind measurement
- Integrated heating against icing
- Water and dirt-repellent coating on the transducer front surface
- Direct mounting in customer-specific housing (anemometer module)
SC029
Ultrasonic transducer perfect for anemometry- Perfect for wind measurement even in strong gusts of wind up to 324 km/h thanks to the large beam width.

Ultrasound for your industry too
Transducers and sensors must function reliably under extreme conditions. Whether heat, cold, humidity, ice or snow – robust components guarantee precise measured values, long-term stability and maximum operational reliability. They safeguard critical processes, enable predictive maintenance and are indispensable for trouble-free use in demanding environments.
Agriculture
In agricultural engineering, transducers detect distances to soil, plants or harvesting machines. The contactless measurement works precisely and reliably even in dusty or changing light conditions. This ensures exact application rates, precise control and greater efficiency in the field.
Automation
In automated production processes, SECO transducers measure distances to workpieces or tools. The transducers detect position changes or objects with high accuracy – even with high cycle rates or changing materials. This enables precise processes and avoids downtimes.
Print technology
In printing technology, SECO transducers control the correct web run and the occurrence of double sheets to ensure a stable process and the highest print quality. Thanks to their high repetition rates, the transducers support trouble-free operation and enable fast reactions.
Sensors in anemometry – precision in motion
Anemometry, i.e. the measurement of wind speed and wind direction, plays a central role in numerous technical and scientific applications. These measurements are based on modern ultrasonic sensor technology, which detects even the smallest changes in air currents and reliably converts them into usable data. Whether meteorological monitoring, building technology or wind turbines – ultrasonic sensors are the backbone of intelligent air flow analysis.
A typical example is the ultrasonic anemometer, which measures the transit time required by ultrasonic waves between two ultrasonic transducers without contact. These values can be used to precisely calculate the wind direction and speed – independently of mechanical wear parts. In wind power, this data is used to optimize the alignment of the rotor blades, monitor performance and avoid critical loads.
In building technology, anemometers use sensors to control ventilation, regulate blinds or provide safety signals in the event of strong gusts of wind. Wind measurement also ensures greater safety, control and efficiency in navigation, drone flights and at airports. Sensor technology in anemometry is a crucial element for automated processes in dynamic environments.
Robust, reliable and low-maintenance sensor technology is particularly important in harsh weather conditions. Modern sensor solutions combine durability with real-time capability – a prerequisite for predictive control and adaptive systems.
Sensor technology in anemometry brings movement under control. It enables the reliable measurement of air flows – a decisive advantage for smart systems in technology, energy and the environment.
