General platform operation

   Hello!!! Force platforms measure the forces and moments acting on the top surface of the platform. In three dimensional space forces and moments can be broken down into three components acting along the three coordinate system axies. Conventionally the axies of the coordinate system are called x, y and z and the associated force and moment components are called Fx, Fy, Fz and Mx, My and Mz.

   AMTI's force platforms are the culmination of many years of research and development and they represent the state of the art in multiaxis force sensing technology. Each platform provides six outputs corresponding to the three orthagonal forces and the three orthagonal moments acting on the platforms top surface.

   AMTI's force platforms are used by hundreads of gait and biomechanics laboratories around the world. Excellent performance characteristics and durable designs coupled with AMTI's commitment to provide responsive and comprehensive customer support make these platforms the logical choice for laboratory and clinacal installations.
