While adopting the same linear vibration motion pattern and parameters, VT007 is re-engineered with an integrated construction, reduced number of parts, and further refined materials.

VT007 came out as more robust, reliable and durable.

More than built-to-last, VT007 showcases a timeless aesthetic appeal through its simplicity, solidity and the elegant industrial style.

Construction & Serviceability


Construction & Mechanics
VT007 Exploded-View
VT007 Exploded-View

The machine frame of VT007 consists of an upper board and a lower boar assembled together through four rubber springs in between. Each board is made of high density fiber board wrapped with a strong ABS ring that is mould injected as a whole piece.

The vibration actuator, which is a motor/eccentric wheels assembly is mounted on the upper board from below.

The control console is separated from the main machine body. It is connected to the motor with a 3-pin secure connector. The connector a plug-in and screw-on type. It can be easily connected by the user.

Because the control console does not vibrate with the machine, the product lifespan is extended. In any case the control console is broken, it can be replaced very easily.

eccentric wheel vibration drive
VT007 Eccentric Wheel System

The vibration actuator is an assembly consists of a DC motor and 3 pairs of eccentric wheels. The DC motor rotates the eccentric wheels to create centrifugal force that pushes the upper board to move in an oval pattern.

The movement is regulated by the four strong rubber springs that support the upper board, and form the desired vibration directions. The upper plate moves mainly up-and-down, and modestly forth-and-back.

Vibration frequency is adjusted by the control console through changing the DC motor's input voltage.

The amplitude setting can be switched between high and low by changing motor rotation direction, which engage different numbers of eccentric wheels.

There is a clunk sound when the amplitude setting is switched. This is a normal sound. It does not harm the machine.


User-Serviceable

Designed with industrial style and modularized components, VT007 can be easily serviced, disassembled and reassembled using just a screwdriver and a couple of wrenches.

Replacement parts and modules can be ordered free of charge from our website for at least 15 years after purchasing the machine.


Not a Medical Device

VT007 is sold as an exercise equipment. Please consult a medical professional if you intend to use this device to treat a medical condition.

When properly used, VT007 can induce rapidly repeated skeletal muscle contraction, which can enhance the physical exercise effectiveness.

The unique muscle contraction stimulation may be used as a therapeutic intervention for musculoskeletal, neuromuscular and circulatory disorders. The physiological processes behind muscle contraction are beneficial for self-healing and general health improvement.

If used incorrectly, vibration may adversely impact the user.

Scientific studies on vibration therapy is very limited. There is no solid proof in terms of modality and efficacy for any treatment application. The negative affects of vibration intervention have not being scientifically examined.

Please read the disclaimers, cautions and exceptions on our website. The health benefits suggested or implied on our websites and product literature are not certified or endorsed by any regulatory authority or medical institute.


Useability Issues



Floor Vibration & Jump/Drift

VT007 should be used on a solid floor that resists vibration. It is recommended to put the machine on a carpet or exercise mat so as to prevent the machine from jumping or drifting on the floor.

Floor Vibration

While VT007 transmits most vibration to the user, it also transmits some vibration to the floor.

vibration-plate-shake-house

We don't recommend using VT007 on a wood frame floor that is connected to the wall. VT007 can vibrate the floor and the connected building structure, making extra noise. Over time, vibration may cause damage to the house structure.

Floor vibration is a major issue that limits the use of a high frequency vibration machine like VT007 in wood-frame construction houses.

anti-vibration mat Use VT007 on an exercise mat

Depending on the solidity of the floor, placing an anti-vibration cushion beneath the machine may be a solution. A large piece of exercise mat made of EVA material, 1/2" thick, may serve this purpose well.

In an wood-frame construction house, VT007 should be used on the ground floor or in the basement.

VT007 should not be used in a mobile home.

Machine Jump / Drift

VT007 has a light weight. If there is no body weight on the vibration plate, the centrifugal force generated by vibration can overcome the machine weight and cause the machine to jump / drift on the floor. You should always keep your body on the machine before starting the vibration. Never let the machine to run unattended.

A carpeted floor can provide some buffer and friction that prevents the machine from drifting with vibration when there is no body weight on the machine.


Vibration Noise

VT007's noise is a combination of sound wave noises and mechanical noise.

Sound wave becomes audible to human ears when the vibration frequency is about 20Hz. Sound wave noise is not avoidable.

noise of vibration

Mechanical noise is produced by the friction and impact between the moving parts of the vibration machine. It is not avoidable, but could be reduced through design optimization, parts precision and assembly accuracy improvement.

Because VT007 is designed for household use, we make good efforts to reduce its mechanical noises, for better user experience.

One of the major source of mechanical noise is the impact and friction between the upper plate and the supporting springs, due to the gaps produced between these two components during vibration. This noise will be greatly reduced when user steps on the machine with body weight centered.

Over time, the vibration can loose the bond between the upper plate and the rubber. There will be more mechanical noise. Tightening up the four bolts at the four corner may solve the issue.


Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

Like other household electric appliances, VT007 produces electric field and magnetic field (EMF).

EMF exposure of Vibration plate

For VT007, the main source of magnetic field is from its electric motor. At one foot above VT007's upper plate, the maximum magnetic field strength measured is 1.3 milligauss, and the maximum electric field strength measured is 44V/m.

For an electric motor, the EMF frequency equals the motor rotation frequency. VT007's EMF frequency is no more than 40Hz. EPA classifies this type of EMF as extremely low frequency EMF, or ELF EMF. Scientists have not found ELF EMF poses any safety concern to human.

EPA advises that there is no clear scientific evidence that EMF affects health. EPA does not define a safe or hazardous level of EMF exposure.

Reader's discretion is advised.


The Clunk Sound

This is not an issue.

When you start the vibration plate or switch the amplitude between Hi and Lo, you can hear a clunk sound. This is normal, not a problem.

When the machine is started, or amplitude switched, the motor reverses the direction to engage different number of eccentric wheels. In the process, the eccentric wheels strike the position block and make the clunk sound.

In P3 mode, the machine automatically switches the amplitude multiple times in the programmed session. Each time when the amplitude is switched, there is a clunk sound, and you know the amplitude is switched.

You may also hear a metal grounding sound, which is the sound that the eccentric wheels turn on the motor shaft.

These are normal sounds of VT007 in operation, no any harm to the machine.


Frequency Range Designed for Resonance

VT007's vibration frequency range is specifically designed to align with the natural frequency of skeletal muscles, for creating a resonance effect.

At resonance, the vibrations most effectively induce muscle contractions, providing an intense and rapidly repeated mechanical stimulation to both the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. Vibration therapy utilizes this unique simulation for health improvement.

The chart below exhibits vibration frequency ranges of different types of vibration plates, compared to the natural frequency of human body soft tissues.

Control Features

The use of VT007 is simple and intuitive. Users can easily adjust the session time, frequency, and amplitude using either the control console or the remote control. The buttons on the control panel perform the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the remote control.

Before starting the vibration, user can choose manual control mode or any of three program control modes, then press Play button to start the session.

Manual Control

In manual control, user can adjust the following parameters.

Session Time 1 - 20 minute, default 10 minutes
Frequency 15 - 40 Hz, one hertz incremental
Amplitude Lo / Hi switch

Program Control

Three program control modes (P1, P2 and P3) are built-in with VT007. Each program automatically run a spectrum of frequencies, changing every 5 seconds, within a total session time of 10 minutes.

In P3 mode, amplitude switch is added to the frequency change spectrum.

The charts below exhibit the frequency and amplitude pattern of each program control mood.
