VMtechnology to cut vibration white finger


Newmatic is launching a road breaker at SED this week that it claims can dramatically reduce the risk of contracting vibration white finger.

Measured on a vertical axis (according to ISO 8662-Part5), the VM25-40 pneumatic breaker has a vibration level of less than 1.5m/s2.

The company says the patented VMtechnology employed in the VM25-40 gives the lowest vibration levels on the market and increases the safe operating period by up to four times. This technology is said to enable the mass of the VM25-40 to increase and decrease rapidly between 25kg and 40kg, which makes it possible to combine the manoeuvrability of a medium-weight with the performance of a heavy-duty breaker.

For light-duty jobs requiring low power and mass, the VM25-40 setting can be adjusted accordingly.

The power output is automatically reduced (and therefore the vibration exposure) if the breaker is lifted without releasing the trigger.
