Abstract
An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.
Claims25
An exercise machine including:
- an actuator;
- a motor, wherein the motor is of pancake style and the machine is of low relative depth;
- a cable coupled between the actuator and the motor;
- a motor controller coupled to the motor;
- a filter coupled to the motor controller, configured to:
- receive an information related to the position of the actuator;
- and
- provide an input to the motor controller to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator, comprising to:
- compare a current relative position between the motor and the actuator;
- and
- send an appropriate number of pulses to the motor to adjust a position of the motor based on the current relative position between the motor and the actuator.
