Low Load Force Platform | Compact Force Plates

HE6x6

The HE6X6 is a compact, portable force platform for quantifying very low loads. This 6″x6″ multi-axis force platform is a portable solution ideal for human proprioception testing and small animal applications. This platform comes in a variety of capacities, ranging from 1 to 20 lb. of maximum vertical force.

The HE6x6 features a one piece sensing element that provides extremely high overload protection on all axes. Typically greater than 100x capacity. Top & bottom mounting holes are provided in the force platform, but are not needed for many applications.

Only the platform, cable, power supply interface box (PJB-101) and a computer are needed to collect data.

See the Specifications Tables below for more details.
