 Cost effectiveness through versatility While force plates with strain gage sensors are limited by their elastically deformable structures to a particular, optimal measuring range, Kistler force plates with quartz crystal sensors can accurately measure both very small and very large forces within their structural load capacity. Very small forces can also be measured under a high initial load. It is therefore not necessary to purchase different Kistler force plates to cover several measuring ranges. Moreover, quartz crystal sensors are characterized by extreme robustness and durability. Due to their high natural frequency in all three directions of measurement (fnx, fny and fnz), high natural damping and rapid response, Kistler force plates always represent even highly dynamic processes correctly.
