N-set, of course the finish flooring is supported by some sort of structural "members". These MIGHT be reinforced concrete, and so MIGHT be quite strong, depending on the whims of the builders at the time of construction, and considering any loss of strength and/or elasticity over time. If the floor structure is wood joists, or if it is "engineered" joists, then you might want to ease into loading 500kg out into the span! Remember that part of the problem with amplitude that you wish to diminish results from a design load that is within the member's acceptable load range, based on its modulus of elasticity!

Best regards,
