Makita Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT)

Breaker Hammer HM1812 with AVT

Makita Advanced AVT

Advanced AVT enhances Makita Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) with a 3-component system that sets new standards in vibration reduction, with no compromise in performance. The Air Actuated Counterbalance moves counterweight pistons in the opposite direction of the drive piston to actively reduce vibration. The Vibration Absorbing Housing isolates the rear and side handle, reducing vibration for the user. And the Integrated Damper Spring is engineered to absorb impact vibrations from the drill bit.

VIBRATION ABSORBING HOUSING

Advanced AVT provides a vibration-absorbing housing with a spring-loaded handle and housing wich moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism, effectively isolating vibration away from the user.

INTERNAL COUNTERBALANCE SYSTEM

In rotary hammers, Advanced AVT provides an air-actuated counterbalance system that directs air pressure from the crank and barrel cylinder into the counterbalance chamber to push counterweight pistons in the opposite direction of the hammer mechanism.

INTEGRATED DAMPENING

In rotary hammers, Advanced AVT provides an integrated damper spring at the base of the impact bold engineered to absorb impact vibrations from the drill bit.

A. In a breaker hammer, Advanced AVT provides rubberized fixed handles wich dampen vibration for increased comfort and precision.

B. In a breaker hammer, Advanced AVT provides a vibration-absorbing housing with a spring-loaded handle and housing wich moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism, effectively isolating vibration away from the user.

C. In a breaker hammer, Advanced AVT provides a mechanical counterbalance system wich moves in the opposite direction of the hammer mechanism wich greatly reduce vibration and increases user comfort and productivity.
