Shanghai ATW Bearings Production Co., Ltd.

Bearings in fitness equipment are key for smooth operation and durability. Here's a detailed look at their role and

specifications:

1. Types of Bearings Used

Ball Bearings: Common in exercise equipment like treadmills, elliptical machines,and stationary bikes.They provide

smooth rotation for moving parts and reduce friction.

Roller Bearings: Used in equipment that supports higher loads, such as weight machines and rowing machines,

where they handle significant radial forces.

2. Materials

Steel Bearings: Widely used for their durability and cost-effectiveness. Suitable for most fitness equipment where

moderate loads and typical conditions are present.

Stainless Steel Bearings: Preferred for their resistance to rust and corrosion, especially in environments where

sweat and moisture are prevalent.

Plastic Bearings: Used in less critical areas where cost is a factor. They are lightweight but may have shorter

lifespans compared to metal bearings.
