Rowing is considered a strenuous, but healthy and effective sport.
However, if no suitable body of water is available, only going to the gym or
buying a stationary training device for your living room is an option. The
RowTrike of the Portuguese engineering company Solien changes that. The action
of the three-wheeled device is comparable to the original rowing motion on
water, but the trike moves forward, instead of backwards as with a rowing boat.
Moreover, the RowTrike can be manoeuvered like a bicycle to the left and right
and thus travel on straight roads in the city as well as on winding country
roads.
Small igus e-chain masters
great demands
The hydraulic brake cables and electric cables of the RowTrike are
reliably guided between the two mobile elements with a stroke of 600
millimetres. The device uses two 76 link long igus energy chains of the E2
micro series, and perform 80 "rowing strokes" per minute. The plastic
chains are free of corrosion and lubricants, and are excellent for use even in
rain, dirt and grime. The reliable energy guidance is ensured by the
shock-absorbing property even when driving on a bumpy terrain.
Use of motion plastics in the
sports and fitness sector
From lubrication-free plain bearings in suspension
forks of mountain bikes and linear guide systems in weights machines up to
energy chain systems in crosstrainers and ergometers, igus products are known
for their versatile use in the sports sector. They make the operation of the
sports equipment silent, vibration-free as well as maintenance-free.
