Abstract: On the basis of research to be used on the handles of GN - 5 walking tractor, a new type of vibration absorber was designed. The vibration absorbing effect of the absorber was evaluated in accordance with ISO 5349-1986(E). The measured data indicated that weighted acceleration value in the direction, having the most serious vibration was decreased by 55. 8 percent, and the tolerable time of daily exposure to vibrations transmitted by the handles was prolonged by 126. 4 percent. The vibration absorber is of simple structure and stable performance, and could be put into practical production.
