Force Platform
PS-2141
Introduction
The PASPORT Force Platform, used with a PASPORT interface, continuously measures force (up to 4400 N or
1000 pounds) applied by a person or object. You can use the Force Platform to measure the static weight of a per-
son standing on it, or the dynamic vertical force involved in moving and jumping. It has the measurement range
and strength to accommodate people of all sizes and the sensitivity to measure smaller forces such as the weight
of a ball. Put the platform on the floor or tabletop to measure vertical force, or mount it on a wall to measure hor-
izontal force. With the optional handle set, you can use the platform to measure both “pulling” and “pushing”
force.
