Detailed description

The wind sensor cups for B&G (part number 000-15140-001) are the essential OEM replacement part for restoring or maintaining the accuracy of your anemometer system. Designed specifically for the marine environment, these cups ensure smooth rotation and reliable wind speed data transmission to your displays and NMEA 2000 network. Unlike generic parts, this OEM component guarantees factory-balanced performance, critical for detecting even the slightest wind variations.

Extended compatibility with B&G sensors

This set of three cups stands out for its very broad backward compatibility. It is designed to fit current models such as the wireless WS320 and wired WS310 sensors, as well as high-performance models WS700 and VMHU. Additionally, it extends the lifespan of sensors from older generations, including the 608, 508, 213, and 496 series. This versatility makes it a standard maintenance part essential to have on board for any B&G electronics owner.

Robust design and installation

Made from UV-stabilized engineering plastic, these cups resist solar degradation, chalking, and cracking, thereby extending their lifespan at the masthead. The aerodynamic profile is optimized to minimize drag while maximizing sensitivity to light winds. The kit includes a stainless steel mounting nut, ensuring corrosion-resistant and secure installation. Installation is performed by simple mechanical replacement, with no need for complex system recalibration.

Expert opinion

« The essential maintenance part for the reliability of wind data »

As an installer, replacing anemometer cups is a common maintenance task, often due to UV wear or collisions with halyards at the masthead. The strength of this B&G 000-15140-001 reference lies in its extraordinary cross-compatibility. Whether you're working on a rig equipped with a recent WS320 wireless sensor or an older 213 or 508 model, this single part solves the mechanical issue. UV-stabilized plastic offers excellent resilience against the elements, and the inclusion of a stainless steel nut prevents unpleasant surprises (seizing or loss) during reassembly aloft. This is the type of essential spare part that every offshore sailboat should carry in its emergency kit to ensure the integrity of real wind data transmitted to the autopilot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is included in the wind transducer cup spare kit?

The kit includes a set of three cups and a stainless steel mounting nut to ensure secure attachment to your wind sensor.

What material are these replacement cups made from?

These cups are made from UV-stabilized plastic. This material offers excellent resistance to sun exposure and prevents embrittlement or cracking over time.

Why should I replace the cups on my anemometer?

They should be replaced if worn, cracked, or broken due to bad weather or natural wear. Intact cups ensure accurate and responsive wind measurements.

Do the cups resist marine corrosion?

Yes, they feature an anti-corrosion design specifically developed to ensure optimal longevity in demanding marine environments.

Are these cups genuine B&G parts?

Yes, this is a genuine B&G spare part (reference 000-15140-001), ensuring the same quality and reliability as the original part in your equipment.

What is the advantage of the aerodynamic profile of these cups?

Their aerodynamic profile and lightweight design minimize drag while maximizing anemometer sensitivity, even with the slightest wind variations.

Are the cups balanced in the factory?

Yes, the assembly is precisely balanced during manufacturing to ensure perfectly accurate wind speed measurements and prevent vibrations on the axis.

Does this kit modify the data displayed on my displays?

No, using this OEM part ensures your wind sensor retains its original calibration to continue transmitting accurate wind data to your instruments.

How many cups make up the anemometer rotor?

The rotor consists of three cups, all included in this complete replacement kit.

Can we buy a single cup instead of the full set?

No, part number 000-15140-001 is sold only as a complete set of three cups with its nut to ensure perfect balancing of the rotating system.

Are these cups compatible with the B&G WS310 wind sensor?

Yes, this cup set is fully compatible with the wired wind sensors from the WS310 series.

Can I use these cups with a wireless B&G WS320 sensor?

Yes, these replacement cups are fully compatible with the B&G wireless WS320 model.

Is this kit compatible with older B&G anemometer models?

Yes, this kit offers broad backward compatibility. It can be installed on older models 608, 508, 213, and 496.

Do the cups work with the WS700 series wind sensors?

Yes, part number 000-15140-001 is designed to be mounted on the high-precision wind sensors of the WS700 series.

Is this model compatible with VMHU sensors?

Yes, you can use these replacement cups on B&G VMHU (Vertical Masthead Unit) masthead units.

Can I install these cups on a wind transducer from another brand?

No, these cups are specifically designed and balanced for B&G wind sensors. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and could skew your data.

Do I need specific tools to replace the cups?

No, the installation is simple and quick and does not require any specialized tools. The supplied nut is easy to handle to release the old rotor and secure the new one.

How to mount the new cups on the wind sensor?

Remove the old nut, take off the damaged rotor, place the new cup set on the shaft while respecting the insertion direction, then firmly tighten the new stainless steel nut provided.

Do I need to recalibrate my system after changing the cups?

In general, replacing the cups with an identical OEM part does not require major recalibration. However, it is always advisable to check wind data consistency on your displays after the intervention.

Is it necessary to remove the mast to replace the anemometer cups?

It depends on your installation. If your sensor is mounted at the masthead, you will need to go aloft to perform the replacement. The operation itself is very quick once you reach the sensor.
