Elliptical trainer accessories: mats, lubricants

ACCESSORIES FOR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

A modern elliptical trainer is a self-sufficient cardio equipment that can be used out of the box, immediately after purchase. Nevertheless, there are accessories for the orbit track, some of which increase the comfort when using the simulator, while others are indispensable for its maintenance.

Mats and rugs for elliptical trainers

Even the most perfect orbit track creates vibrations during operation. This is due to the presence in its design of massive moving parts and a heavy rotating flywheel. Therefore, it is important to protect the floor under the simulator from negative influences. Mats and rugs for orbitreks perform several tasks at once:

• Protect the flooring from mechanical damage and pollution;
• Absorb vibrations transmitted from the orbitrek to the floor;
• Reduce the noise level during the operation of the simulator;
• Ensure the stability of the equipment, compensating for irregularities;
• They prevent slipping.

In addition, a properly selected mat or rug helps to extend the life of the product. By reducing the vibration load on the nodes of the simulator, their resource increases. And the rug for the orbit track can play a design role. These accessories for cardio equipment help to highlight the training area in the interior of an apartment or office. And it is much more pleasant for the user to move around the device not on a bare floor, but on an elastic and non-slip coating.

Rugs for the orbit track are made in two layers. The lower one, in contact with the floor surface, is soft and porous. It cushions and holds the accessory in place, creating a suction cup effect. The top layer is dense and resistant to damage. They make rugs and mats from modern synthetic materials: EVA, polyurethane foam, plastic.

Manufacturers offer mats for different types of exercise equipment. The most popular can be considered solid and in the form of a puzzle. Solid flooring is just like a regular rug - they can be rolled up and laid anywhere in a couple of seconds. Those that look like a puzzle are more rigid. They consist of individual compact elements, interconnected by grooves and protrusions. An important advantage of these products is their versatility. Using a different number of elements, you can increase and decrease their size.

The choice of a rug for an orbit track is carried out according to length, width, thickness and density. The size of the accessory should be such that the supports of the simulator fit on it, and there is a small margin. The thickness is chosen depending on the mass of the equipment. To install heavy professional models, it is better to choose thick and dense rugs and mats.

Lubricant for elliptical trainer

Elliptical trainers are quite complex mechanisms with moving parts that work under heavy loads. Like any other machine, the orbitrek needs timely lubrication. Most often, this task is performed by service specialists, but if you have certain knowledge and skills, you can service the simulator yourself. For this, a special lubricant for orbitreks is used.

The use of a specialized lubricant plays an important role. The manufacturer carefully calculates the composition of the grease so that it is as close as possible to the materials of the mechanism, the environment, the characteristic loads and the operating temperature. Only the fulfillment of these conditions can guarantee that bearings, support rollers, connecting rods and guides are protected from wear and other adverse factors. As a rule, the use of accidental lubricants does not lead to anything good and affects both the life of the simulator and the comfort of using it.
