PS-3230 wireless force platform—two-dimensional
The PS-3230 wireless two-dimensional force-platform sensor offers flexible operation and custom sampling rates, with high-speed sampling over Bluetooth Low Energy. Measure the force on each beam individually, the platform's total normal force, or its normal and parallel forces simultaneously. Applications include static weighing of structures or people, detecting impact forces from falling objects, and measuring dynamic vertical and parallel forces during object movement or human jumping. Overview: Building on the PASPORT two-dimensional force platform, the PS-3230 retains its reliable performance while improving durability and adding convenient wireless connectivity. Its new design uses a rugged glass-fiber-reinforced nylon platform with a sheet-metal top and five internal force beams. Four vertical beams measure forces perpendicular to the surface; the fifth connects to the movable sheet-metal top to measure forces parallel to the surface. Four adjustable feet allow quick leveling while ensuring firm contact between the force beams and the supporting surface. The new wireless design substantially improves convenience, with flexible operation and custom sampling rates for high-speed acquisition over Bluetooth Low Energy, up to 10KHz. Measure each beam separately, total normal force up to 5200 N, or normal and parallel forces simultaneously. Simply place it on the floor or a tabletop for vertical-force measurements, or mount it on a wall for horizontal-force measurements. Limited warranty for non-educational use: All PASCO force platforms, models PS-3229, PS-3230, PS-2141, and PS-2142, receive a 5-year PASCO warranty when used solely for educational purposes. For sports-related diagnostics and/or training, which are non-educational uses, a limited 1-year warranty from delivery covers defects in materials and workmanship. See the PASCO warranty page for details.
