The sensor is attached to the oar shaft (which is used as a load cell) and measures its bend during the stroke. The bend is directly proportional to the torque applied by a rower, which is a product of the applied force and the actual inboard length (form pin to a point of force application at the handle).

The handle force is a versatile, accurate, reliable and lightweight instrument for measurements rower’s force and power. It works with all known oar types, the same sensor can be used with  sweep or sculling oars. The sensor is attached to the oar shaft with a house clamp, which takes 10-15s to install or remove it.

As all shafts have different stiffness properties, each sensor require calibration after installation. With a special pre-calibrated sensor and our unique calibration method, it takes 10-15s to calibrate each oar.
