What is a Force Plate?
A force plate is a motion analysis device that uses force/torque sensors to measure the vertical ground reaction force (Fz), horizontal forces (Fx and Fy), center of pressure (CoP), and torsional moment (Tz) applied to the plate surface.
Built on our 6-axis force/torque sensing technology, we developed a high-accuracy, portable force plate that makes force data more accessible than ever before.
Key Features of Force Plate by ZYXer
Lightweight and portable
Unlike conventional force plates, this lightweight portable model weighs only 8 kg while still delivering the accuracy required for research-grade applications.
High accuracy
Equipped with four 6-axis force/torque sensors and proprietary strain compensation technology. By leveraging our in-house electric cylinders for point-by-point calibration and compensation, we achieve a high level of measurement accuracy.
Customizability
As a sensor manufacturer, we can plan and provide force plates with a wide range of specifications, including rated capacities and dimensions. We also offer flexible support for ancillary equipment required for portable models through our in-house design capabilities.
What data matters—and how it is used—can differ dramatically depending on the application and measurement environment.

POINT01
Portability
PORTABILITY
Anytime, anywhere, anyone
A portable solution that removes the constraints of force measurement.
Conventional Challenges
Force plates are often limited to specific measurement environments.
- In portable systems, it is difficult to achieve both low weight and high measurement accuracy / rated load capacity.
- Measurement environments are limited, so usage is often restricted to only a narrow range of applications.
Next-Generation Solution
The portable feature enabling flexible measurements anywhere and on the spot
- By utilizing a 6-axis force/torque sensor, we achieve an 8 kg design—among the lightest in the industry.
- The portable design allows measurement in a wide range of locations and scenarios.
POINT02
High accuracy, scientific measurement
SCIENCE
Engineered by a sensor manufacturer
Research-grade high-accuracy measurement performance in a portable system
Conventional Challenges
Portable systems have traditionally struggled to deliver high-accuracy measurements
- Portable systems have traditionally been unsuitable for precision measurement.
- With conventional portable systems based on 1-axis sensing, combined loads such as shear force and axial rotation cannot be captured.
Next-Generation Solution
6-axis measurement enables analysis of complex movements, including shear forces and rotational torque
- High accuracy of less than 0.5% has been achieved in spite of its portability
- High-speed force data acquisition at 1200 Hz.
- Precise measurement supported by a high natural frequency of 520 Hz.
- Advanced measurement including rotational torque and shear force.
POINT03
Customizability
CUSTOMIZE
Unlimited application potential
Flexible response to a wide range of needs
Conventional Challenges
It is difficult to obtain highly accurate measurements in special environments such as spiked footwear or artificial turf.
- Standard force plates are typically offered only in predefined model, making special configurations difficult.
- Support is often insufficient for cases that require consideration of installation methods or ancillary equipment.
Next-Generation Solution
Flexible support with in-house designed and selected accessories
- As a sensor manufacturer, we can plan and provide force plates of various specifications, adapting rated capacity and size to your use-case
- Flexible support with in-house designed/selected accessories such as adjusters, artificial turf, pitcher's mound/batter's box, etc.
