4-1. Vibration-absorbing Main Handle and Side Handle

The G 23SCY series are equipped with the vibration-absorbing side
handle in the same manner as the conventional models. In addition,
the housing is coupled to the main handle (switch handle) through
the moving joint mechanism, and handle dampers are provided
between them. As a result, the vibration level of the switch handle is
30% lower than the current G 23SC3 series. The G 23SCY series
are more user-friendly and able to reduce the operator's burden
caused by vibration. Figure 1 (a) shows the result of vibration test
performed according to EN-50144 (Single axis vibration).
