5.2 Running Surface

The walking surface belt consists of individual slats which are mounted on a set of

wedged-tooth belts.

The individual slats consist of two components: A rubber surface and a T-shaped

aluminum base. Due to the approximately 1 cm thick rubber surface and the alumi-

num T-slat, WOODWAY has the "world's most ideal running surface for treadmills".

Due to the rubber running surface the majority of the impact energy is absorbed

and local pain in extremities which is associated with long runs is reduced. The in-

teraction between the belt system and the transport system prevents friction and

heat generation. This increases service life of the running belt and the entire tread-

mill.

The WOODWAY running surface differs fundamentally from running belts on con-

ventional Treadmills (for which cotton-nylon belts are normally used). On your

WOODWAY treadmill you may initially notice higher surface grip than you have ex-

perienced before. The more you use your treadmill, the more you will get used to

the grip. As with all treadmills, it is also important on a WOODWAY treadmill not to

shuffle your feet if possible.

5.3 Transport System

The support system consists of two supporting rails (secondary carrier), which are

equipped with high-performance bearings. Six V-belt guides on each carrier ensure

lateral stability.

The system which consists of a total of 112 ball bearings supports the running sur-

face and distributes the load evenly over the entire treadmill. The running surface

belt (slats and steel wire reinforced toothed V-belt) is guided by a form-fitted guide

roller on the front and back. The guide rollers are coupled by a toothed belt and

thereby synchronized. This makes the curve possible. The combination of running

surface / secondary carrier / guide rollers makes this slat system unique:

• Low friction (energy saving) and low wear

(approx. 240,000 km functional service life)

• High service life (one running surface belt for one treadmill life)
