Smooth 9.3 Features

INTEGRATED FAMILY OF COMPONENTS
Baldor Motor, PWM Motor Controller, and Optical Speed Sensor.

Most treadmill manufacturers slap together a bunch of parts. We integrate them into a finely tuned machine. The benefit of custom-engineered components designed as a family insure seamless integration of components working together. And results in a pleasurable cardio workout.

For Example:

The Optical Encoder reads the motor speed at an average of 600 times a second, constantly averaging the speed input from the motor shaft to the motor controller. The motor controller then sends more or less energy to the Baldor motor that replicates the slight speed variations in a walking or running stride. This produces a consistently smooth (no pun intended) belt speed with each footplant.


PWM CIRCUIT BOARD
(Pulse Width Modulation)

  • Custom-designed PWM Motor Controller.
  • Two-fan cooling system on motor controller assembly keeps electronics cool for longer-life (similar to cooling fans in a personal computer). .
  • Optical encoding of motor speed is measured by the PWM controller and produces a smooth, consistent motion that adapts with each footplant on the belt. .
  • Pulse Width Modulation allows for much greater speed information to be gathered, averaged, and produce a far superior and constant belt speed. .
  • Silent operation - No electrical hum. More power from clean voltage. Low-amp draw - No throwing breakers.
  • What that means to you. - Very quiet yet powerful motor operation. .


FRAME

Uni-weld steel construction, lifetime warranty.

The Smooth 9.3 series treadmill frames are boxed cold-rolled steel, using combinations of thickness (8 through 12 gauge) throughout the frame. The elevation assembly, a place of high stress, uses 8 and 10-gauge (thicker) steel.

The main deck frame uses 12-guage allowing for flexibility in the full length of the treadmill during walking or running. A balance is sought between rigidity and flexibility in the frame design, making the Smooth 9.3 treadmill series one of the most comfortable treadmills to walk or run on.

What that means to you - Lifelong durability backed by a lifetime warranty.


ELEVATION - Worm Gear

Effective and durable elevation mechanics designed for years of service. 400 lbs. of thrust throughout entire range of motion.

The elevation assembly is well thought through. Many treadmills found on the market actually reverse the elevation motor, causing a pulling motion at the point of greatest stress. Our engineers use the elevation motor (actually known as an actuator) to push during the greatest amount of stress, adding years to the life of the actuator. It just makes since.

What that means to you - No hesitation while elevating treadmill.


INTEGRATED BELT AND DECK DESIGN

The belt and deck work as a team to lessen noise and friction. Friction between the belt and deck create noise and higher amp-draw on the motor controller. By using lubricated materials in the belt and deck, this lowers the friction thereby lowering amp-draw on the motor controller. Lower amp-draw on the motor controller keeps in cooler and enhances longer life.


DECK

The deck on the Smooth 9.3 is built with the same thickness used in Commercial Treadmills

It consist of a 1" Thick, Phenolic Laminate. Phenolic helps keep deck and belt lubricated, extending life.

What that means to you - Extended-wear, super quiet operation for years of dependable service.


ELECTRONIC DISPLAY

Intuitive electronics package includes an information window the helps to set up each program. The Smooth 9.3 series uses advanced LED (light emitting diode) electronics for crystal clear readouts. The quarter-mile track includes a built in lap counter to keep track of your distance, as well as time, speed, pace (minutes per mile at current speed), and pulse (on heart rate models).

Preset programs - Every Smooth 9.3 model has four basic programs with nine different levels of intensity. Each level of intensity changes both the speed and elevation. Level 1 is for beginners, while Level 9 is for advanced heart-pounding workouts.

Length of program can be user-edited from 15-99 minutes. There are also user programs (LEARN technology) that can be customized and saved.

It comes with a Safety Key - Can not be used by children without safety key.

What that means to you - Easy to use electronic interface with built-in safety features.
