Why Kistler force plates?

Worthwhile investment




Kistler force plates measure extremely accurately and quickly pay for themselves, as they are built to last and cover a wide range of applications and extensive measuring range without compromising on measurement accuracy.

Advantages of
piezoelectric
force plates



Piezoelectric force, torque and strain sensors are very compact and rigid, and offer a measuring range of up to six decades, a high natural frequency and low interference sensitivity.

The
piezoelectric effect



Many crystals generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress. This physical correlation has become known throughout the world as the piezoelectric effect.

Measuring chains with piezoelectric sensors



Charge amplifiers convert the charge output by a piezoelectric force sensor into a proportional voltage, which can be digitized in an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter.
