Rethinking Fitness Equipment: Safety, Precision, and Compact Design #
As the fitness industry evolves toward smarter health management, traditional gym equipment is being reimagined. Instead of relying on conventional barbells and weight stacks, modern machines now integrate advanced motorized systems. These innovations, powered by motors and intelligent controllers, can instantly sense user demands for force and speed, resulting in safer and more effective workouts.
YENSHEN specializes in customized motor solutions for fitness equipment such as treadmills and cable machines. Our technology delivers high torque at low speeds and incorporates real-time protection features, 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 misused. By replacing these with motorized systems, the equipment can monitor speed and current in real time. If sudden changes are detected, electronic or electromagnetic brakes can be activated, or power output can be cut off immediately—protecting users from harm.
Inaccurate Resistance and Power Adjustment #
Mechanical resistance adjustments are often imprecise, impacting training effectiveness. Our BLDC motors, combined with high-precision encoders and advanced control algorithms, enable finely tuned resistance changes. This allows users to train safely within their limits, reducing overload injuries. Additionally, precise motor control minimizes noise and vibration, ensuring a smoother and more stable workout.
Bulky Equipment and Frequent Maintenance #
Traditional gym machines are often complex, heavy, and require frequent maintenance due to mechanical wear. Weight stacks also take up significant space, limiting their suitability for home use. Motorized systems simplify the mechanical design, improve durability, and reduce maintenance needs. The result is a more compact and lightweight solution, ideal for safe and effective home workouts.
Success Story: Transforming Fitness with Smart Technology #
A client integrated our 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 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 it 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, enabling truly smart fitness experiences.
