The objective of this study was to analyse the antivibration characteristics of gloves by frequency band while operating light-weighted powered hand grinder. A methodology to estimate vibration isolation effectiveness of gloves was proposed on the basis of overall R.M.S. transmissibility characteristics. And overall R.M.S. transmissibilities of L-, M- and H-spectra were compared. Electric hand grinder was tested in the laboratory and attenuation performances of 3 different gloves(full finger antivibration glove, open finger antivibration glove, and cotton glove) were considered. Eight healthy male subjects were employed to polish metal plate with a tool. The results indicate that there was no significant difference among antivibration characteristics by frequency bands while operating light-weighted electric hand grinder.
