Abstract: The application relates to a hybrid resistance generation system for exercise machines, combining a traditional weight stack with an electromechanical resistance module. The system includes a housing, preferably with separate chambers for each component, ensuring minimized interference. Physical and electromechanical resistance sources are connected in series, offering dynamic resistance adjustments during workouts. A sensor system tracks the resistance applied and movement of the weight stack, providing real-time feedback. The system is adaptable to various exercise machines and offers enhanced user interaction through integrated data processing, enabling seamless transitions between resistance modes and customized training programs.

Abstract: The application relates to a hybrid resistance generation system for an exercise machine, comprising a weight stack providing a first resistance source and an electromechanical resistance module providing a second resistance source. The two resistance sources are connected in series via a weight sword, so that a combined resulting resistance acts on a first cable that is operably connected to a user interface. The electromechanical resistance module includes an electric motor with a winch for winding and unwinding a second cable, which is detachably connected to the weight sword via a tool-free adapter.

Abstract: The present application relates to a sensor-weight system for an exercise machine. The system comprises a load cell, a three-axis accelerometer, a battery, a housing, a communication unit, a data processing unit, and a weight stack with multiple weights. The load cell interconnects a cable with the weight sword of the weight stack, allowing precise measurement of the user's exerted force during exercise.

Abstract: The present application generally relates to an exercise machine. The exercise machine comprises a body, a physical weight, an electromechanical resistance module, a pulley system attached to the body and a user interface. The physical weight provides a first resistance source for a first cable, while the electromechanical resistance module provides a second resistance source for a second cable. The pulley system is configured to integrate a resistance from the first and second resistance sources into a single output resistance by guiding the first cable and second cable to an adapter to which the first cable and the second cable are attached. The user interface is connected to the adapter and serves to apply a force against the single output resistance.
