In the long term, mechanical vibration can have a harmful effect on your employees. A vibration meter tells you whether exposure to vibration stays within the European directives, or whether you need to take measures to protect your employees' health.
In many sectors, employees are exposed to vibration. Whether it is driving a forklift truck, working with vibrating tools or monitoring structures and machines – by buying a good vibration meter you comply with the European directives and protect both people and the environment.
Vibration in the workplace is covered by strict European occupational safety directives. As an employer you are obliged to measure whether your employees are exposed to harmful vibration levels. Depending on the situation, you measure whole-body vibration, hand-arm vibration or seat vibration.
The Vib@Work Whole Body vibration meter was developed specifically to measure vibration in the body of a seated driver, for example of a forklift truck or tractor. You operate this wireless device via Bluetooth and simply place it on the seat. Despite its ease of use, it delivers reliable and accurate measurement values such as RMS values. The meter automatically filters out interference such as getting in and out, so you quickly gain insight into any exceedances of European directive 2002/44/EC.
Whereas the Vib@Work SEAT specialises in whole-body vibration, the Svantek SV 106D can be used for both whole-body vibration and hand-arm vibration. Both offer extensive analysis options for accurate risk assessment.
Do your employees work a lot with hand-held tools? Then the Vib@Work Hand Arm vibration meter is the ideal choice. This wireless device measures vibration across entire work shifts and is suitable for tools that generate both “ordinary” vibration and high shocks. It complies with European directive 2002/44/EC and ISO standards 5349-1 and 5349-2.
Another excellent alternative is the Casella HAVex hand-arm vibration meter. This meter has user-friendly operation, a battery that lasts up to 10 hours and a large storage memory for long measurements without interruption.
In addition, the Svantek SV 106D offers a versatile solution: this vibration meter measures both hand-arm and whole-body vibration, making it ideal for combined applications.
To prevent damage to buildings and infrastructure, it is important to monitor vibration continuously. The Svantek SV 803 SBR is a rugged vibration meter designed specifically for long-term monitoring in accordance with the SBR-A and -B guidelines. This meter is perfect for construction sites, railways and infrastructure projects. Data analysis and reporting are automated, which saves time and money.
Predictive maintenance prevents breakdowns and unnecessary machine downtime. The compact and accurate Svantek SV 974 was developed to analyse vibration on machines, for example bearings, motors and pumps. Thanks to its wide measuring range and high resolution, this vibration meter is ideal for industrial inspection and maintenance.
