We have observed the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect on eight X-ray bright galaxy clusters from z = 0.18 to 0.55 at 43GHz using a newly developed 6-beam receiver installed on the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The SZ effects were detected for all clusters as temperature decrements of 0.5-1mK at the center. The Hubble constant is estimated to be H0 = 64 ± 17 km s-1 Mpc-1 for a flat Λ CDM cosmology, which shows good agreement with other SZ effect observations. Although most of the observed profiles should be described by the isothermal spherical β-model density distribution, the deviation from the model seems to be larger for clusters with an irregular distribution in the X-ray image than those without such an irregularity.
