Understanding the Movement of Lineal Vibration Platforms

Lineal Platforms
Pure Lineal is in fact not a physics possibility. All units must have some sideways motion but a designer of Lineal machines will work hard to keep this to a minimum. This is so a pose can be held in any direction on the platform and the movement accounted for. This also means no energy from the motors are …

Understanding Quality vs Price

Pivotal Machines

The basic function of all pivotal units will be the same. As the sole job of the unit is to tilt you from side to side trying to get you to re-balance - over and over again until you get tired. They will differ in how far they will tilt you, and argue how fast they should tilt you. …

Vibration Machines Make for Noisy Neighbors

Are your neighbors going to like your home model as much as you?

This problem is raising its head again and again - with one company being sued in Italy for not warning its customers about issues such as the noise and vibration that these units can create. In this case the neighbor’s bathroom tiles were cracked.

I will go …

Why You Should be Concerned About Machine Performance

Why is the stable performance of a Whole Body Vibration unit so important ?

The 4 main reasons for a drop in performance are…

1. Incorrect or cheap motors.
2. Incorrect materials used in manufacturing of product.
3. Electronics.
4. Just plain cheap everything.

This leads to the following concerns:
Safety
We have discussed in the past our endeavours to develop safety programs based on the Fq’s (frequencies or speed …

Pivotal and Lineal Machines

Note: I would like to point out these two systems should never be in competition with each other. It is purely a marketing war to do so - not a science driven argument.
Lineal Design
Predator versus prey

To understand this theory look at yourself in the mirror. Front and side on. Ask yourself a couple of …

What is Vibration Training For?

Is Vibration Training just a quick fix to weight management, or is there more to it? Do people even really want to know? Or is it like TV - switching it on and watching the pretty pictures is enough - who cares how the thing works, right?

If you are one of those people who just want the results with …
