Bertec Instrumented Treadmill
The Bertec Fully Instrumented Treadmill v5 (FIT5) allows gait researchers to reduce laboratory space requirements and remove the limitations inherent in a traditional force plate walkway. The unique design features result in superior dynamic characteristics and a high natural frequency making it the preferred research-grade fully instrumented treadmill. The Bertec treadmill enables walking and running research with speeds up to 11.5 m/s and six-component force data output at 1000 Hz.
- Two independent belts, individually controllable, measuring 1.75 x 0.5 m (~ 70 x 20 in) each
- Keeps data from each foot separate for accurate data during walking
- Six-component force output from each treadmill half (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz) at 1000 Hz
- Max load range of: Fx, Fy: 2,500 (550) Fz: 5,000 (1,100) N (lb) per belt
- Each treadmill half is mechanically isolated from the other to minimize crosstalk between belts
- Low Friction Wear Board
- Standalone Electronics Cabinet
- Remote Control API

-
Unique design features result in superior dynamic characteristics and a high natural frequency making it the best suited treadmill for research
-
Split belt treadmill has two belts, one for each foot, which can be controlled independently in both forward and reverse with high precision at desired speed and acceleration
-
An incline feature can be added to the system for uphill analysis
-
Independent and highly accurate 6-component load measurement from each belt (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
-
Works with any major motion capture system
-
Independant low vibration drive systems isolate each half from the other and ensures minimum interference in the data signal
