Vibration and Noise Reduction Mechanism with Leaf Spring Module for Treadmill

摘要

In recent times, there has been an increasing demand for indoor fitness equipment owing to growing health concerns. However, most types of commercial fitness equipment produce the vibration and noise, which may be a disturbance not only to the user but also to others in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, we propose a vibration and noise reduction module that can be used such equipment. This module has six silicone springs placed on the support frame of the equipment. In this paper, we describe the design, analysis, and experimental results of the proposed module. The proposed reduces vibration by more than 15% as compared to conventional module.
