Anti-Vibration Technology

What Dangers Can Vibration Pose?

When using a power tool, vibration is produced as a by-product of that process. Vibration used to be something that was overlooked by users alike. However, if steps are not taken to limit the amount of vibration a machine produces and the level of exposure an individual receives, then injuries such as Vibration White Finger (VWF) will occur through Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV). Working with the users to solve the problem of vibration, Makita Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) products have been designed in close relation to users’ needs at site level.

What Can AVT Do?

AVT can…

AVT-01-E

Active Protection

Active Dynamic Vibration Absorber

Shift of air pressure in crank room and barrel room "actively" controls balancer to move opposite of piston.

AVT-02-E

For models：HR3210C、HR3541FC、HR4511C、HR5212C、HM0871C、HM1317C

Counter Weight Mechanism

Extra-Low Vibration achieved by Counter Weight Mechanism.

For models：HR2601、HR2631F、HR2631FT、HM1812、JR3070CT

For models：HM1812

AVT-05-E For models：JR3070CT

Passive Protection

Vibration Absorption Housing

Spring loaded hinged grip absorbs vibration.

AVT-06-E
For models：HR3210C、HR3541FC、HR4511C、HR5212C、HM0871C、HM1812、DHR263

Damper Spring

It absorbs reaction force caused by drill bit at the moment of impact.

AVT-07-E
For models：HR2601、HR2631F、HR2631FT

Extra Feautre

AVT-08-E

Soft No Load reduces vibration of tool body when idling, accordingly decreases the amount of vibration to operator’s hands during a day’s operation. In addition, it minimizes deflection of bit tip from aiming point when starting chipping.

For models: HM0871C, HM1317C, HM1812
