Vibration Direction
Hand Arm Vibration
For Hand Arm vibration, the three axes being measured can be measured in any
orientation; however it is recommended that the suggested axes indicated in the
figure below are used. If this is not possible, then choosing other axes
orientation is permissible and will not affect your measured data.
In all cases it is strongly recommended to make notes on the axes used relative
to the vibration source. This information will be required if vibration control is to
be implemented on the vibration source.
