M3D Force Plate (Wired)

Ultra-Compact and Ultra-Thin 6-Axis Wearable Force Plate M3D-EL-FP-U

An ultra-thin (t=11 mm) 6-axis force plate designed to be mounted inside shoes

By combining the toe unit M3D-EL-FP-U95 (W95×D80) and the heel unit M3D-EL-FP-U80 (W80×D80), four sensors are used for both feet, enabling continuous ground reaction force measurement during natural movement.
Using the dedicated analysis software, the toe and heel force plate data can be merged and calculated as a single force plate output.

Sampling frequency up to 1 kHz with wired USB connection

The system connects directly to a PC via USB cable and measurements are performed using the dedicated control software.
Thanks to the wired connection, the system supports high-speed data acquisition with sampling frequencies up to 1 kHz.

IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, and geomagnetic sensor) integrated inside the force plate

In addition to measuring six-axis force and moment components (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz) and the center of pressure (COP), the system integrates an amplifier, A/D converter, and IMU within the compact sensor structure, allowing simultaneous acquisition of inertial motion data.

Trigger synchronization function for external devices

The system can operate as a standalone measurement device, while also allowing synchronization with external equipment through trigger (contact) signals.
Measured six-axis force and IMU data are exported as time-series CSV files for further analysis.
