Treadmills are divided into household treadmills and commercial treadmills.For many people, they do not understand why the price of commercial treadmills is higher than that of home treadmills, and what is the difference between them?
There are two important accessories for the Treadmill
1. Motor and shaft
The quality of the shaft of the motor and the front and rear rollers must be good.
2. Running belt
The surface of the running belt of the Commercial Treadmill is a layer of rubber with good friction and strong flexibility, and a layer of elastic material that can increase buffering in the middle. This material can simulate the feeling of a plastic track and protect the knees very well.
The use time and intensity of commercial treadmills are higher than those of home treadmills. mainly reflects in
1. Motor
The motor is the core parameter of the treadmill.The performance of a treadmill mainly depends on the size of the motor.Generally speaking, a Home Treadmill with 1.5HP can be used for daily exercise.Commercial treadmills require a motor of 3HP or more.Commercial treadmills face different groups of people and require more powerful motors. The peak horsepower of some commercial treadmills can reach 7HP.
2. Speed slope
Due to the strong motor support, the maximum speed of commercial treadmills is 20%-30% higher than that of home treadmills. Commercial treadmills support the adjustment function of greater inclines, while some home treadmills do not support adjustment functions, and the adjustment space for the incline is also very small.
3. Noise
Home treadmills are less noisy than commercial use.Household use is a DC motor, almost no noise.The commercial use is an AC motor,noisy, but it lasts longer than home.
4. Running belt
The width of the running belt of the home treadmill is 42-55 cm, and the width of the running belt is more than 55 cm for commercial use. Commercial treadmills have a large area to meet the needs of different groups of people.
5. Weight
Commercial treadmills have very high requirements for safety and stability, so the thickness of the steel selected for the production of treadmills is much thicker than that of home treadmills. At the same time, these accessories such as rollers are also heavier than home ones, and the weight is naturally higher. The stability is very good. The weight of commercial treadmills is at least 150KG, and some are as high as three or four hundred kilograms.In contrast, home treadmills will take into account the basic safety and stability and also the convenience of movement, so the weight is generally below 100kg. If the family area is limited and there is a need to move, you must buy a home treadmill.
