For measurement of worker personal exposure to hand-arm vibration
 Exposure to high levels of vibration has been shown to cause permanent injury if left unchecked and untreated. |
The Larson Davis division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) launches 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, Models SEN040F (1 mV/g sensitivity) and SEN041F (10 mV/g sensitivity) feature:

- A design with special integral low-pass filtering circuits that minimize false readings from shock and mechanical resonances.
- Small, light and more precise than typical sensors
The SEN04xF series sensors exhibit:
- The ability to be mounted onto a variety of mechanical mounting adapters for HAV studies.
- A miniature four pin connectors.
- Availability with new heavy-duty cables that interface directly with the Larson Davis HVM100 Human Vibration Exposure Monitoe.
Exposure to high levels of vibration has been shown to cause permanent injury if left unchecked and untreated. Determining potential for injury from exposure to vibration should be considered part of a comprehensive ergonomic evaluation and risk assessment program.
Model HVM100 provides:
- 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.
- An easy and efficient way to obtain and document levels of exposure, proven to cause a wide range of potential injury, including Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS – also known as 'Vibration White Finger Disease’, or VWF) and other more insidious physical effects.
