Compact Force Plate TF-3020
A high-sensitivity and portable force plate.
In addition to human motion analysis, it has a proven track record in friction measurement
and integration into processing equipment.
A force plate is a six-axis load cell capable of measuring translational forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and moments (Mx, My, Mz), as well as calculating the center of pressure (COP).
The TF-3020 is a compact force plate designed with particularly low capacity and high sensitivity (maximum range 1 kN, minimum range 300 N).
Its high sensitivity enables precise measurement of very small ground reaction forces—such as infant sit-to-stand movements, seat pressure measurement under car seats or furniture, children's gait analysis, and robot locomotion—which were previously difficult to detect due to noise.
