Portable stabilometry platform BMS400600

Overview
The BMS400600 is a mountable force plate in the OPTIMA™ Biomechanics Measurement Series engineered for precise multi-axis ground reaction force and moment measurement in gait, balance and sports testing. It offers selectable top-plate materials, optional high-frequency models for dynamic testing, and integrated amplifier support for laboratory and clinical installations.

Applications

• Gait analysis
• Balance assessment
• Sports performance measurement (jumps, impacts)
• Pairs or multiple plates for bilateral or instrumented-floor systems

System information (standard ship package)

• Force plate (BMS400600)
• Optima amplifier (OPT-SC) included
• 30-foot (9.1 m) force plate-to-amplifier cable included
• Necessary mounting hardware included

Standard or High Frequency
The BMS400600 is available in Standard Frequency and High Frequency (HF) models. High Frequency versions are recommended for highly dynamic protocols or installations with increased vibration.

General specifications

• Dimensions: 400 x 600 x 82.5 mm
• Operating temperature: -18°C to 50°C
• Channels: Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz (6-axis)
• Excitation: up to 10 V
• Measurement accuracy: ±0.5% of applied load (typical)
• Crosstalk: ±0.2% of applied load (typical)
• COP accuracy: < 0.5 mm (typical)
• Sensing elements: strain gage bridge
• Amplifier: OPT-SC included (USB digital or analog outputs)

Capacities and sensitivities

• Available Fz suffixes (approx.): 1000 lb | 2000 lb | 4000 lb
• Fx/Fy capacity (N): 2225 | 4450 | 8900
• Fz capacity (N): 4450 | 8900 | 17,800
• Torque capacities (Mx, My, Mz Nm): vary by suffix (see product table)
• Sensitivities vary by model (µV/V per N or Nm); typical values provided in product table

Frequency models
Standard and High Frequency (HF) options are available depending on capacity. Example natural frequencies for Fx/Fy and Fz vary by capacity and top-plate material; HF increases natural frequency for dynamic measurements.

Notes
*Typical values: minimum applied load 50 lb. 4,000 lb (17,800 N) capacity is not available in HF model. Specifications subject to change without notice.
