ENESKA600 Micromotor: Proven Low HAV Levels for Safe, Continuous Use

Finishing Tools, Deburring & Polishing Equipment

When it comes to hand-arm vibration (HAV) testing for precision tools like the ENESKA600 micromotor, the answer isn’t as straightforward as quoting a single number. That’s because vibration exposure can vary greatly depending on the exact process, tooling, and material in use.

Over the years, we’ve worked alongside the UK’s Medical Health and Safety HAV test team and the British Military Aerospace Health and Safety teams, carrying out on-site vibration testing to ensure compliance and operator safety.

One independent HAV tester from a leading global medical company summed it up perfectly:

“It is down to each company to carry out their own HAV tests, as every single process will be different.”

The HAV level for any tool—including the ENESKA600—can change based on multiple factors, including:

  • Consumable used (e.g., mounted points, burrs, or polishing wheels)

  • Consumable dimensions (length, diameter)

  • Material being worked on (e.g., carbon fibre, aluminium, titanium, steel)

  • Workholding method (hand-held vs. clamped in a vice)

  • Tool age and condition

Because of these variables, HAV testing should be performed on the actual processes and materials used in your workplace.

In one test for a top-5 global medical company, we measured HAV levels for the ENESKA600 micromotor in a carbon fibre deburring process.

Test parameters:

  • Machine: ENESKA600 Micromotor (Brand New)

  • Motor: JEM 50

  • Handpiece: JIR40

  • RPM: 8000

  • Consumable: Unitised Mounted Point

  • Diameter: 10mm

  • Shank length: 44mm

  • Shank diameter: 3mm

  • Material: Carbon Fibre

  • Workholding: By hand

HAV results:

Test # X Value Y Value Z Value AEQ Value
1 0.72 0.39 0.65 1.05
2 0.68 0.37 0.66 1.03
3 0.53 0.27 0.43 0.74

Summary at 8000 RPM: 0.94 m/s²

Following these results, the HAV medical consultant confirmed:

The ENESKA600 can be used for 24 hours continuously with no health risk to the operator.

That’s a powerful endorsement for industries where prolonged precision work is essential.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence also tested the ENESKA600 on titanium, stainless steel, and aluminium. Their results matched the medical industry findings—safe 24-hour operation without exceeding HAV limits.

  • Proven low HAV levels in independent testing

  • Safe for continuous operation across multiple materials

  • Precision performance for delicate or high-value workpieces

  • Trusted by medical, aerospace, and defence sectors

Is the ENESKA600 micromotor HAV safe?

Yes. Independent testing has shown the ENESKA600 operates at just 0.94 m/s², well below the action value set by UK and EU regulations. This means it can be used safely for 24 hours continuously without risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).

Do I need to run my own HAV tests with the ENESKA600?

Yes. While independent results prove the ENESKA600 is a low-vibration micromotor, every process is different. Factors such as the consumable used, material, RPM, and workholding method all affect HAV levels. We recommend running HAV tests on your specific setup to ensure compliance.

What materials can the ENESKA600 be used on?

The ENESKA600 can be used on all materials. While independent tests have shown consistently low vibration levels on carbon fibre, titanium, stainless steel, and aluminium, the actual results will depend on the consumable you choose and the specific application.

Who uses the ENESKA600 micromotor?

The ENESKA600 is trusted by medical device manufacturers, aerospace companies, and the defence industry for precision deburring, polishing, and finishing. Its low vibration levels make it ideal for industries where operator safety is critical.

Can the ENESKA600 reduce health and safety risks?

Absolutely. By keeping vibration exposure well below legal limits, the ENESKA600 helps companies reduce the risk of HAVS claims, downtime, and compliance issues, while ensuring operator comfort and productivity.
