StandardDetails

This document describes the coupling parameters between the hands of a machine operator and a vibrating surface of the machine. The coupling between the hand and the vibrating surface can be described using different parameters and component parts of these parameters: — force parameters, such as push, pull and grip; — parameters such as pressure exerted on skin. In addition, Annexes A, B, C, D and E provide guidelines for measuring procedures, the measurement of the force and pressure parameters, and information on the requirements for measuring instrumentation, as well as a calibration method. This document does not deal with forces which act tangentially to the hand.
