An electric drill is a handy tool used in a machine shop, which consists of motor, gear, bearing, shaft, and case, i.e., a gear driving system. Low level vibration and noise of the electric drill can bring the assurance of the quality and reliability of the machine. The vibration sources of the electric drill should be investigated for the reduction of the vibration and noise of the system. Through the experiments in laboratory and the various signal processing procedure for the measured vibration and sound signals, the characteristics of the vibration of the electric drill are investigated. And its propagation path is sought using partial coherence function.
