'''{{PAGENAME}}s''' are extremely rare [[Imperial]] devices. These [[anti-grav]] plates can be attached to heavy or cumbersome weapons, essentially reducing its weight by half and allowing a person to wield it by themselves much more easily.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Suspensors are also used to mitigate the effects of forces of physics upon the wearer, such as immense pressure or G-force, when integrated into armour or clothing.{{Fn|3}}
Such technology is most commonly found being used by elite troops of the Imperium.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} For example: [[Space Marine Power Armour|Space marine power armour]] or the [[suspensor-wire]] pressure flight-suits worn by starfighter pilots.{{Fn|3}} Ranged heavy weapons of respected Space Marines will sometimes be upgraded by attaching suspensor plates. This offsets the weapon's weight{{Fn|4a}} when mag-clamped to the weapon{{Fn|5}} and additionally auto-stablises the weapon so that it's essentially braced while firing.{{Fn|4c}} These plates also aid in the accuracy of their weapons, similarly to a [[gyro-stabliser]] but to a greater effect.{{Fn|4b}} Suspensors used on a [[heavy bolter]] can be the size of a human thumb.{{Fn|6}}
