The Larson Davis division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) (Depew, NY) has introduces a new series of high performance triaxial accelerometers, Series SEN04xF, designed expressly for taking measurements of worker personal exposure to Hand-arm Vibration (HAV). According to the company, the accelerometers exhibit:
designed with special integral low-pass filtering circuits that minimize false readings from shock and mechanical resonances, Models SEN040F (1 mV/g sensitivity) and SEN041F (10 mV/g sensitivity) are smaller, lighter and more precise than typical sensors. ?Ability to be mounted onto a variety of mechanical mounting adapters for HAV studies; feature miniature four pin connectors; ?Available with new heavy-duty cables that interface directly with the Larson Davis HVM100 Human Vibration Exposure Monitor.?A portable, practical means for quantifying exposure data on the job, whether work is performed inside manufacturing or process plants, or at the most remote agricultural, mining or construction sites.??www.larsondavis.com?
