Title Pneumatic rammers with an "extension handle" - Study of vibration and noise reduction
Original title Fouloirs pneumatiques à "manche allongé" - Etude de la réduction des vibrations et du bruit [in French]
Bibliographic information 1st quarter 1984, No.114, Note No.1465-114-84, p.35-45. Illus. 16 ref.
Abstract A pneumatic rammer with acceptable vibration and noise levels was developed. This rammer would reduce the osteoarticular problems and hearing discomfort associated with such machines generally, without reducing its flexibility and compacting power. The prototype functioned with vibration levels of less than 15m/s2 and noise levels below 85dB(A).
