Pilates tool with drylin® W

• What was needed: drylin® W linear systems, iglidur® plain bearings 
• Requirements: To achieve a space-saving design that enables fast and quiet movements as well as remain resilient and maintenance-free in operation. Operation should be possible smoothly in any environment and ensure a long service life. An important challenge is to ensure that large weight loads can be handled without problems and that uncomplicated assembly is guaranteed. It is also important that the adjustment is lubrication-free. The rail and bearing should be kept completely clean so that there is no risk of contamination during transport, as well as when setting up and carrying out exercises. The tool should also be hygienically easy to clean - whether for end users or studios. In addition, there should be no maintenance work.

Problem

Pilates tools in areas such as wellness and rehabilitation or physiotherapy centres may have inadequate structural design, which can lead to various problems.
Firstly, they can be unstable and move or wobble during training, which poses a safety risk. Products are often not lubrication-free, and after a while contamination occurs that makes transport, assembly and the performance of the exercises difficult or completely impaired.

In addition, the structure may not be ergonomically designed, which can lead to incorrect posture and strain. This in turn can lead to injuries or muscle strains. Another potential problem is insufficient adjustability of the equipment to accommodate different heights and weights or exercise requirements. This can make training difficult or ineffective. Overall, problems with the design of a fitness machine can frustrate the user and affect their training goals.
