Multicomponent Force Plate for Biomechanics Type 9287C…
3. General Description of the Instrument
3.1 What does a Multicomponent Force Plate Do?
The multicomponent force plate provides dynamic and
quasistatic measurement of the 3 orthogonal components
of a force (F
x, Fy, Fz) acting from any direction onto
the top plate.
With the aid of optional evaluation devices (e.g. software
system BioWare) the following quantities can also be
measured:
 The moments M
x
, M
y
and M
z
 The coordinates a
x and ay of the point of application of
force on the force plate surface COP = Center of Pres-
sure
 The torque T
z (free moment) around an axis normal to
the force plate surface
 Center of mass displacement and acceleration, physical
power and work, coefficient of friction
The multicomponent force plate distinguishes itself
especially by the following features:
 Large surface, resulting in a high probability to hit it in
sports
 Wide measuring and frequency range
 Light weight
 High overload capacity
 Corrosion resistant design, protected against splashing
water
