Ariel Force Plate System Specifications

Description:

The ARIEL-Force Plate is an option of the Ariel Performance Analysis System (APAS) that is designed to measure the three orthogonal components of the ground reaction force and the three associated moments.

General: The ARIEL-Force Plate incorporates sophisticated electronics mounted directly inside the platform to amplify the signals from four separate strain gage load cells. An external power supply provides the necessary excitation voltage for the six channel output directly into the Ariel A/D input channels.

Force Plate Specifications:

	High Natural Frequency (>750 Hz)
	Strain Gage Load Cell Technology
	Load Ranges: Fx = 1000 Newton, Fy = 1000 Newton, Fz = 5000 Newton
	Standard Size: 45 x 65 cm.
	Other sizes and load ranges available upon request
