Rethinking Fitness Equipment: The Shift to Intelligent Motorized Systems #
As the fitness industry evolves, the demand for smart health management solutions is rapidly increasing. Traditional gym equipment—such as barbells and weight stacks—is being replaced by advanced motorized systems. These new machines, equipped with integrated controllers and precision motors, are designed to instantly detect user requirements for force and speed, resulting in safer and more effective workouts.
YENSHEN specializes in providing customized motor solutions for fitness equipment, including treadmills and cable machines. Our motors deliver high torque at low speeds and feature real-time protection mechanisms, significantly reducing injury risks and enhancing the overall user experience.
Addressing Key Challenges in Fitness Equipment #
High Risk of Injury #
Traditional weight stacks with pulley systems can lead to injuries if used incorrectly. By transitioning to motorized systems, real-time monitoring of speed and current becomes possible. In the event of sudden changes, the system can immediately activate electronic or electromagnetic brakes or cut power output, providing effective user protection.
Inaccurate Resistance and Power Adjustment #
Mechanical resistance adjustments are often imprecise, impacting training results. YENSHEN’s BLDC motors, combined with high-precision encoders and advanced control algorithms, enable finely tuned resistance changes. This ensures users can train safely within their limits, reducing overload risks. Additionally, precise motor control minimizes noise and vibration, resulting in a smoother, more stable workout.
Bulky Equipment and Frequent Maintenance #
Traditional gym machines are often complex, heavy, and prone to mechanical wear, requiring frequent maintenance. Weight stacks also take up significant space, limiting their suitability for home use. Motorized systems simplify mechanical design, improve durability, and reduce maintenance needs, resulting in compact, lightweight solutions ideal for home workouts.
Success Story: Enabling Smart Fitness Transformation #
One of our clients integrated YENSHEN’s customized motors into their product line, combining AI and intelligent fitness software. With added WIFI and Bluetooth capabilities, their smart fitness equipment enabled real-time wireless syncing with workout apps, greatly enhancing interactivity and value. This innovation led to a 20% increase in sales.
Data Highlights #
- Motor diameter: Only 90 mm, with an output power of 750W
- High torque performance: Kt = 0.8 Nm/A
- Ultra-low cogging torque: 0.04 Nm
- Equipment size reduced by 80%, making it ideal for home use and storage
Innovative Applications: The Next Generation of Smart Fitness #
YENSHEN’s new motorized systems replace bulky weight stacks with a compact, intelligent design. Featuring a low-cogging BLDC motor, users experience smooth and natural resistance at any training angle—making these systems especially suitable for elderly rehabilitation or post-surgery recovery. The smart controller continuously monitors motor speed and current, translating this data into actionable training insights such as force output, muscle activation, and consistency. With built-in cloud connectivity, training results can be tracked and analyzed remotely, making truly smart fitness a reality.
