Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Bertec's portable force plate, model FP4060-05-PT, is designed for field applications such as gait, balance, jump, and running analysis. It utilizes strain gage technology and advanced electronics to provide precise measurements of forces and moments.

Design and Features
The force plate includes precision-engineered strain gage load transducers that measure three orthogonal forces and moments about each axis. It features a built-in 16-bit digital gain amplifier and signal conditioning unit, eliminating the need for calibration matrices. Users can choose from digital, analog, or combined amplifiers, allowing for long output cables up to 100m without signal degradation. The digital output connects directly to a PC via USB, facilitating easy installation and setup. Analog outputs are available in BNC or bare wire formats. An SDK is available for custom software development.

Unique Features
  • 1000 Hz sampling frequency
  • Easy integration with third-party systems
  • Rugged structure for durability
  • Adjustable foot for stability on uneven surfaces
  • Minimized cross-talk through advanced electronic design
  • Lightweight aluminum honeycomb sandwich design
  • Available in load ranges of 5,000 N, 10,000 N, and custom ranges
  • High resolution and natural frequency

Force Plate FP4060-05-PT-1

Force Plate FP4060-05-PT Product Details and Specifications Bertec’s portable force plate is designed for use in field applications for gait, balance, jump, running and many other movements. Strain gage technology, state-of-the-art electronics, innovative mechanical design, and quality manufacturing have created superior force plates suitable for a variety of applications. Unique Features Each force plate consists of precision-engineered, strain gage load transducers that precisely measure six components: three orthogonal forces and the moments about each axis. Each plate contains a built-in, 16-bit digital gain amplifier and signal conditioning unit, which make the use of calibration matrices obsolete. You then have the choice of three external amplifiers: digital, analog, or digital and analog in one. This system allows the use of long output cables (up to 100m) without any signal degradation. The digital output can be directly plugged into your PC’s USB port. Simple installation and a minimum amount of setup time result from this plug and play technology. For the analog output, you have the choice of either six individual BNC type outputs or seven individual bare wire outputs (custom output cables available per request). Digital acquire is offered to enable quick data collection. Bertec offers an SDK solution for researchers who want to develop and use their own software. - 1000 Hz sampling frequency - Easy integration with 3rd party systems - Rugged structure to withstand years of use - Adjustable foot allows stable placement on uneven surfaces - State-of-the-art electronic design internally minimizes for cross-talk - Lightweight aluminum honeycomb sandwich design - Available in load ranges of 5,000 N, 10,000 N and other custom load ranges - Excellent resolution and high natural frequency 2500 Citygate Drive Columbus, Ohio 43219 bertec.com
