Hand-Arm Vibration Meter and HAVS Monitor

Measure hand-arm and whole-body A(8) against UK action and limit values

Human vibration meters

SV 103

Hand-arm vibration dosimeter

3-channel, ISO 8041-2, ISO 8041-1, ISO 5349

Its triaxial sensor is worn on the palm, where vibration enters the hand, and the meter logs a full shift unattended. It reports A(8) in m/s² and exposure points for H&S teams and military crews using hand-held power tools (drills, grinders, chipping hammers, mowers).

SV 100A

Wireless whole-body vibration meter

3-channel, ISO 8041-1, ISO 8041-2, ISO 2631

Mounted on the seat and backrest, it operates wirelessly and unattended for full-day routes with mobile-app GPS tracking across cars, trucks, buses, ships, aircraft, helicopters, and military vehicles.

SV 106D

Human vibration analyser

6-channel, ISO 8041-1, ISO 5349, ISO 2631

Operator-driven, sampling studies for labs and R&D covering HAV on the hand/tool, WBV on the seat/backrest, and vibration transmissibility (e.g., floor-to-seat) with optional 1/3-octave analysis.

Comprehensive solutions for vibration at work measurement

The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 set exposure action and limit values of 2.5 and 5 m/s² A(8) for hand-arm vibration and 0.5 and 1.15 m/s² A(8) for whole-body vibration. When tool data don't reflect how your team works, SVANTEK instruments and software measure exposure for your risk assessment:

Hand–arm vibration measured directly on the hand and on the tool
Seat and whole-body vibration including backrest analysis
Floor vibration in vehicles and buildings
In-field calibrators for precise verification
PC software Supervisor with templated reporting
Mobile app for GPS correlation with whole-body vibration in vehicles

Dedicated Software Solutions

Comprehensive package for vibration meters, combining ease of use with advanced analysis:

Exposure action and limit values for both hand-arm and whole-body vibration

Exposure points for hand-arm vibration, as in HSE guidance: 100 = action value, 400 = limit value

VDV calculations dedicated to whole-body impulsive vibration

A(8) report templates for daily exposure assessment

Automatic data filtering for operator presence or hand contact detection

WAV recalculation and frequency analysis for vibration source identification

Integrated worker database in Supervisor for simplified management and reporting

Trusted by experts worldwide

SV 106D - "Used for measuring floor vibration and impact on a scientific microscope measurement performance. Easy to use, good software to analyze data and visualize, handy portable size.

SV 106D - "The ability to capture raw signals and perform FFT analysis makes the SV 106D a powerful teaching and research tool."
