Discover Labosport’s RTA Sensor: Advanced Testing for Modern Turf Management
Labosport’s Rotational Traction Athlete (RTA) Sensor, paired with our Lightweight Rotational Resistance (LWRR) device, is designed to deliver reliable, field-ready data for artificial turf evaluation. Whether you manage sports surfaces or conduct certification tests, our system offers the accuracy and efficiency you need, fully aligned with international performance standards.
What Is the RTA Sensor?
The RTA Sensor is a compact, highly accurate tool developed to measure rotational resistance on synthetic turf. It supports all major FIFA test protocols, including:
- Peak Torque Measurement (FIFA Test Method 2024-06)
- Rotational Shear Stiffness (FIFA Test Method 2024-07)
- Lightweight Rotational Resistance (FIFA Test Method 06a – also endorsed by World Rugby)
- Low-angle grip (Torque at 10°)
This makes it one of the few devices on the market capable of fulfilling multiple test methods with a single setup. Discover the LWRR device here.
Key Benefits of the Labosport Rotational Traction Athlete (RTA) Sensor
Compliance with the Highest Standards
Labosport’s RTA Sensor fully complies with the latest FIFA Quality Programme for Football Turf (2024 edition) and the 2015 standards. It meets precise requirements for torque range, angular resolution, and signal sampling ensuring valid, repeatable test results in both lab and field settings.
User-Friendly interface and Efficient
Thanks to its intuitive interface and optional app integration, the sensor is easy to use by technicians in varied conditions. It is lightweight, mobile, and fast to deploy, with data stored and displayed in real time for immediate review.
Insightful Data on Player-Surface Interaction
The sensor captures critical values related to low-angle grip and rotational dynamics. For example, measuring torque at 10° rotation reveals how traction at shallow angles may influence athlete perception and performance. This aligns test outputs with real-world player experience.
Trusted by Professionals Worldwide
Labosport’s equipment is used by leading laboratories and field testing professionals around the world. As a pioneer in sports surface science, we ensure every product we release meets the highest technical and practical standards.
