2-Axis Force Platform
PS-2142
Introduction
The PASPORT Force Platform, used with a PASPORT interface, continuously measures force applied to it in two
separate directions: normal to its surface (up to 4400 N) and along an axis parallel to its surface (up to 1100 N).
You can use the 2-Axis Force Platform to measure the static forces of a person standing or leaning on it, or the
dynamic vertical forces involved in moving and jumping. It has the measurement range and strength to accom-
modate people of all sizes and the sensitivity to measure smaller forces such as the weight of a ball. Put the plat-
form horizontally on the floor or a tabletop, or mount it vertically on a wall. With the optional handle set, you can
use the platform to measure both “pulling” and “pushing” force.
