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.

Applications

Determine airtime as a person jumps off and lands back on the platform. Investigate Newton's third law using two force platforms. Measure impulse and maximum force. Measure normal force on a person riding in an elevator. Use a motion sensor and ball to compare impulse and momentum change as the ball strikes the platform. Measure lateral force during a standing long jump. Measure normal and parallel forces exerted by a wall on a leaning ladder. Measure normal and parallel forces on the platform as a person walks or runs across it. Pull an object across the platform to measure its normal and frictional forces. Available experiments: Senior-high-school physics: Apparent weight gain and weightlessness (wireless force platform).

Key Features

Upgraded reinforced design with an increased maximum force range; mechanical over-range protection for vertical-force measurement; a spacious top platform for jumping and standing; burst sampling for high-speed wireless data acquisition.
