Currently, more than ten million members are working out in German gyms, and the trend is rising. Always in focus: ergonomic and smooth movements. To adjust sitting position, weights and inclination of the devices, we recommend bearings and linear systems by igus. They are comfortable to handle and work almost silently. No less important: igus products operate completely without external lubricant. After all, no gym member wants to get dirty hands or oil marks on their stylish gym outfit. In any case, for professional use exercise machines have to withstand continuous operation on a daily basis, whether they are adjusted manually or electronically at the push of a button.

Typical areas of use are: Lead screw modules for bathtub or patient lifts, folding mechanisms and brakes in the case of mobile lifting and bathing systems, moving clamps of the drive unit in the case of stair lifts, diverse pivoting movements of levers/mechanisms. Locking mechanisms or seats on stair lifts, power supply for stair lifts, operating, lifting, locking and fall-prevention systems for wheelchair lifts, setting of controls and seat/backrest surfaces in the case of movement trainers or fitness equipment at home or in the studio, guidance of electric power or signal cables for movement trainers that support patients mechanically when they move.
