Orbitrek is rather new type of cardiovascular machines. For the first time mechanical orbitrek began to be applied in gyms approximately from the middle of the 1990th years. Mechanical orbitrek are still popular, despite emergence of magnetic and electromagnetic orbitrek. The compactness and low price of mechanical orbitrek is the reason of such success.
Than it is useful orbitrek
Orbitrek does not create excessive load of joints, promotes increase in power endurance, trains cardiovascular system. At training on orbitreka the main muscular groups are involved. Thanks to it the exercise machine perfectly is suitable for fight against excess weight.
What orbitrek happen
Differ with Orbitreki as the drive. In mechanical orbitrek the mechanical drive is used.
Magnetic orbitrek differs in availability in the drive of the exercise machine of special magnets. Loading in the device is regulated manually or by means of the servo. Magnetic orbitrek is reliable and more durable, than mechanical. The exercise machine silently and smoothly works. It is possible to refer lack of the program of occupations to minuses.
Electromagnetic orbitrek also work to basis of magnets, but by means of the electric power. Level of loading is regulated automatically. Thanks to lack of moving mechanisms, electromagnetic orbitrek are not inclined to breakages and work almost silently. By means of the built-in computer it is possible to trace parameters of training and to install certain program of occupations. The most modern orbitrek – aero magnetic. Such exercise machines work from the built-in generator. The computer of aero magnetic orbitrek works from the accumulator. The aero magnetic exercise machine differs in mobility, low energy consumption and the smooth course of pedals.
Principle of work of mechanical orbitrek
Mechanical orbitrek works with the help of the belt which is put on flywheel. From continuous friction the belt pretty fast wears out. The flywheel is put in action by the muscular strength of the user. Loading is regulated by means of the special handle.
Pluses and minuses of mechanical orbitrek
It is possible to carry to advantages of mechanical orbitrek that it does not need the power supply. The exercise machine with the mechanical drive is much cheaper and more compactly than similar exercise machines with the magnetic and electromagnetic drive. For home trainings often choose orbitrek with the mechanical drive. But the mechanical orbitrek has also essential shortcomings. The exercise machine more noisy in work because of the mechanical drive. It is much less loading options in mechanical orbitrek, than electromagnetic. Mechanical orbitrek have no built-in computer, respectively, there is no opportunity to trace training parameters. For rotation of flywheel it is necessary to use the additional efforts that leads to increased load on organism.
