I think you'll find that any stray fields from industrial shaker
systems, are often from the connecting leads, especialy if not correctly
positioned and layed out.  The internal static and dynamic magnetic
fields are "Very" well contained.

My example with the small speaker though, you could expect some field
leakage.  However, the speakers from old PC monitors (CRT types) are
often very well shielded themselves, static and dynamic.

The "injection stick" is a good method of moving such field away
(inverse square law again) from the EUT.   Of course, if the field is
the problem, you'll see disturbance effects, long before the mechanical
connection is made.

Play and lean.

Cheers.
