FUTEK has recently come across a very unique and creative test stand to simulate loads created during walking. In this particular application 2 FUTEK load buttons are used to measure the force on the toe and heel movement on each foot one step at a time. The application is simulated through a metal type module to test the endurance and simulate walking in snow for shoe test cycles. The maximum load force tested on each foot is approximately 80-100 lbs.

Load Button load cells may be used for a number of applications but are commonly designed for Press, or Inline compression applications and are also ideal for research and testing applications.
