Superior technology
Bertec force plates lead the industry in center of pressure and force measurement accuracy with negligible crosstalk, drift, and signal interference. Analog signals sampled internally at 1000Hz are immediately processed by our custom electronics into digital data impervious to degradation.
Enhanced data collection powered by Kinamoto™
Visualize and capture live force and CoP data all in a single software with easy plug-and-play design. Seamlessly connect and synchronize force plates for simple coordination and precision with built-in auxiliary triggers.
Portable solutions
Your lab on the go. Bertec’s portable force plates allow for accurate and reliable data collection in more natural environments.
Strongest industry warranty
Representing a legacy of excellence in biomechanics for over 30 years, Bertec is proud to offer the strongest 7-year warranty on fixed force plates.
Fixed Walkway Solution
The Bertec Fixed Walkway allows researchers to mount Bertec’s 40x60 cm or 60x90 cm fixed force plates in a customizable in-series configuration for various biomechanics applications. Independently reconfigure your force plates depending on your experimental needs while maintaining data quality.
Dual Plate Solution
The Dual Bracket allows researchers to secure two high-capacity portable force plates for various applications. This configuration secures two same-sized force plates in place during high-impact dynamic movements.
Only available for Bertec 5060-06 portable force plates.
Instrumented Stairs
The Bertec Instrumented Stairs offer precise force measurement capabilities for stair ascent and descent analysis. The steps are equipped with portable force plates to capture reliable and high-quality force and CoP data for consistent results in every study.
Only available for Bertec 3192-06 portable force plates.
