Absolute Attention for  tomorrow’s world Kistler develops solutions for challenges  in measurement technology with  a portfolio that comprises sensors,  electronics, systems and services. We  push the frontiers of physics in fields  such as emission reduction, quality  control, mobility and vehicle safety:  our products deliver top performance  to meet the standards of tomorrow’s  world, providing the ideal basis for  Industry 4.0. This is how we pave the  way for innovation and growth – for our customers, and with our  customers.

Kistler: the byword for advances in engine  monitoring, vehicle safety and vehicle  dynamics. Our products deliver data that  plays a key part in developing efficient  vehicles for tomorrow’s world.

Measurement technology from Kistler  ensures top performance in sport  diagnostics, traffic data acquisition,  cutting force analysis and many other  applications where absolutely reliable  measurements are required despite  extreme conditions.

By supporting all the stages in networked,  digitalized production, Kistler’s systems  maximize process efficiency and costeffectiveness in the smart factories of  the next generation.

Improve movement, prevent injuries  and boost performance Targeted improvements to movement patterns and training  routines demand in-depth knowledge of the sequence of  movements and the related force progressions. Force plates with  piezoelectric sensors from Kistler have been continuously refined  over the last 50 years, and they are used with successful results in  sport, rehabilitation, product ergonomics and clinical research.  Kistler offers a vast range of different force plates and systems  that are as diverse as the application areas where they are  deployed. Our measurement technology is used for virtually all  the Olympic sporting disciplines, and it can be found on every  continent – either as a single component or a complete turnkey  system.

Single components for special applications  • Permanently installed force plates with high natural frequency  for outstanding accuracy • Portable force plates for precise measurements and flexible usage • Rugged, waterproof force plates for applications in humid/wet  environments  • Force plates with a transparent cover plate, suitable for video  recording from below in research and industry  • Instrumented pole vault planting box  

Complete systems  • KiJump/Quattro Jump systems for performance analysis and  research in many sporting disciplines as well as strength and  conditioning training • KiSprint system for performance analysis during sprint starts • KiSwim system for performance analysis of swimming starts  and turning technique

Force plates and systems from Kistler: investments that pay  dividends  Every force plate from Kistler is based on highly rigid piezoelectric  quartz crystal measuring elements. These elements give the force  plates their many advantages over strain gage sensors: high natural  frequency, low susceptibility to disturbance variables and – first and  foremost – an exceptionally wide measurement range of up to six  decades.

Benefits of our force plates  • Very precise measurement of highly dynamic force  sequences thanks to high natural frequency and good  damping behavior  • Extremely wide measurement range: one single force plate  can measure both small and large forces with consistent  accuracy, and can capture the most extreme force peaks  with maximum resolution. The benefit: one and the same  force plate can be used in a vast range of different  applications • Exceptionally cost-efficient: no fatigue, even after millions  of loading sequences and many temperature cycles • No damage due to overload
