Abstract
The vibration of an electric hand grinder originates from the motor, gear, bearing, and fan. Its excessive vibration can be harmful to workers. To reduce the vibration of an electric hand grinder. frequency analysis for the vibration signals of a running electric hand grinder and modal test for the each part were done. The results show that the vibration is due to the resonance of the case. To remove the resonance, the case structure was modified and the bearing cap was replaced on a basis of the results of the rotor dynamic analysis using SAMCEF. As a result, the vibration of the electric hand grinder was reduced greatly.
