Treadmill - motor power
Hi, I've been looking at a treadmill that has a DC Motor 0.5
HP VR, and what seems like a newer version of this treadmill which has a DC Motor 2 HP PWM. What is the difference between the two motor types, and would a 0.5 HP VR motor be equivalent in speed and power to a 0.5 HP PWM motor? Thanks |

Take a look at http://www.gymworld.co.uk/guide_treadmills.asp, notably the titles "Treadmills: Horsepower" and "Treadmills: Motor Controller". "VR" is the same as "SCR" in the above web page. Google for ''"variable rectifier" scr''. PS: Please learn how to crosspost, instead of duplicating postings. |
