Seriously.....you could consider

1. constraining the mobile handset between two angle iron brackets in T slots, with a wooden coffee stirrer at each end of the handset/bracket
2. secure the base of the handset to the table with a few beads of silicone to the machine table

This could kill 2 or more birds at once & provide a stable harm-free method of securing the devices accelerometers without damage to the restraining machine or device :facepalm2:

Thanks Derek,
When I get back to trying to measure the vibrations I'll try making some sort of mounting along those lines for the 'phone. Silicone mounting pads might be just the job for keeping the engine in place without stopping it moving completely.

Interesting thoughts on balance. There are all sorts of smartphone clips/clamps available for fitting to tripods.
Best regards
