Larson Davis HVM200 Human Vibration Meter

The Larson Davis HVM200 is a sophisticated 3-channel vibration meter designed to measure human exposure to vibration in compliance with ISO 8041 and other international safety standards. It is primarily used by industrial hygienists and safety professionals to assess hand-arm and whole-body vibration levels in workplaces such as construction sites and manufacturing plants. The device is known for its wireless connectivity, allowing users to control measurements via mobile applications.

Larson Davis was originally founded in the United States and became a prominent name in noise and vibration instrumentation. The brand's history is closely tied to its long-term association with PCB Piezotronics, which eventually became its parent entity. This acquisition allowed the brand to expand its reach within the sensing and measurement industry, combining precision sensor technology with advanced data logging capabilities.

In early 2016, PCB Piezotronics, including the Larson Davis brand, was acquired by MTS Systems Corporation. Subsequently, in 2021, Amphenol Corporation acquired MTS Systems, making Amphenol the current ultimate owner of the brand. This ownership structure places Larson Davis under a massive global umbrella of electronic and fiber optic connector manufacturers, though the brand continues to operate with its specialized focus on high-precision acoustic and vibration measurement systems.
