SV 38
SV 38 Whole-Body Vibration Accelerometer
Description
The SV 38 is a MEMS based triaxial accelerometer designed for whole-body seat vibration measurements with the SVAN 958A four-channel analyser.
The seat-pad meets ISO 8041:2005 and ISO 2631-1 requirements so it can be used for seat and seat-back vibration measurements.
For the periodic verification, the accelerometer can be easily removed from the seat pad and installed on a shaker with a dedicated SA 38 adapter (optional).
