The 2-Axis Force Plate is an all-in-one solution that combines the Force Plate and the Lateral Force Accessory into a single tool. It measures both normal and lateral forces, allowing students to explore more complex force interactions beyond single-axis analysis. This expanded capability makes it ideal for studying real-world applications in advanced high school and college-level physics and engineering courses.

Use the 2-Axis Force Plate to perform the following kinds of experiments:

  • Evaluation and analysis of normal force and friction forces
  • Analysis of reaction forces of static systems
  • Evaluation of vector components of forces
  • Investigation of forces involved in biomechanics of walking, running, and jumping

Normal Force

  • Force range: –350 to +3500 N where positive value is a compression force
  • Maximum non-damaging force: 4500 N (1000 lbs) compression

Lateral Force

  • Force range: –2000 to +2000 N
  • Maximum non-damaging force: 2500 N (560 lbs)

Dimensions: 31.5 cm x 31.5 cm x 6.5 cm
