Get in shape quickly without lubricants

Fitness equipment is adjusted for the next user in a very short time. Seat position, operating elements, weights and inclination are only a few of the adjustments on sport equipment. These adjustments can be made manually, or electrically at the press of a button. In every case, the movement should be smooth, quiet and soft . . . over and over again.
 
The use of igus® bearings and linear systems offers the user a comfortable, high quality feeling in the adjustment and thanks to operation completely free of lubrication, all bearing points are clean and rugged. Because of the sliding motion and elimination of balls, all movements are almost completely noiseless.
 
For the manufacturer and the operator of fitness equipment, this freedom from lubrication means that tedious re-lubrication is a thing of the past and also that a dusty environment is no longer detrimental to function. igus® e-chainsystems® and chainflex® cables guarantee high security against failure of electric equipment, even for the tightest bending radii.
