MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF THE VIBRATION TRANSMISSIBILITY OF GLOVES

The increasing attention is paid to the protection of the mechanized working tool from the vibration. The paper presents research results of the vibration transmitted from the chain saw rear handle to the operator's hand without gloves and when five different type of antivibration gloves were used. The vibration levels were measured at idling, full load and cutting. The vibration levels were measured and analyzed and the frequency spectra for the chosen working conditions were obtained. The frequency-weighted acceleration, given in m/s^2, was calculated. The vibration total value was defined as the root-sum- of-squares of the three component values. The obtained values are graphically representing.
