Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required?
A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Elliptical Trainers, so
lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to
simply wipe your perspiration off of the Elliptical Trainer after each use.
Q: Will the magnets wear out over time?
A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force
indefinitely in this application. One of the big advantages of a magnetic
brake is its long life, since there is no physical contact between the
flywheel and the magnet surface.
Q: How long will the drive belt last?
A: The computer modeling we had done indicated virtually thousands of
maintenance-free hours. Belts are now used in far more demanding
applications such as motorcycle drives.
