Lateral Force Accessory

Lateral Force Accessory

Lateral Force Accessory

$390.00

This accessory can be combined with the Go Direct® Force Plate or the Force Plate to measure both normal and lateral forces developed during human-scale actions like stepping, jumping, and running.

The Lateral Force Accessory will be available in May 2025. Stay up to date on our new product launches! Sign up for our newsletter at vernier.com/newsletter
ORDER CODE: 2D-FP Categories , ,

Combine the Lateral Force Accessory with either the Go Direct Force Plate or the Force Plate to create a versatile tool for measuring both lateral and normal forces. This add-on expands single-axis force analysis, allowing students to investigate 2-axis force interactions, vector components, and friction forces to model complex, real-world applications.

Use the combined 2-axis sensor to perform the following kinds of experiments:

  • Evaluation and analysis of normal force and friction forces
  • Analysis of reaction forces of static systems
  • Evaluation of vector components of forces
  • Investigation of forces involved in biomechanics of walking, running, and jumping

The Lateral Force Plate accessory is compatible with all Go Direct Force Plate models and all standard Force Plate models purchased on or after Nov 10, 2023.
