General Description of the Instrument
3.5 Design of the Force Plate
The force plate comprises a top plate of sandwich light-
weight construction under which the four 3-compo-nent
force sensors are mounted under high prestress.
This prestress is a prerequisite for transmissing shear forces
by friction.

The four prestressing elements are at the same time the
feet upon which the force plate rests and with which it is
screwed down onto the mounting frame.
The force plate is corrosion-resistant and proof against
splashing water (degree of protection IP65).
