1、Designation: F 2216 05An American National StandardStandard Specification forSelectorized Strength Equipment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2216; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la
2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe goal of this specification is to promote proper design and manufacturing practices forselectorized strength equipme
3、nt. Through these specifications, this specification aims to assistdesigners and manufacturers in producing functional, safe machines under proper operations. Theequipment user must recognize, however, that a standard alone will not necessarily prevent injuries.Like other physical activities, exerci

Scope1.1 This specification establishes guidelines for the designand manufacture of selectorized strength equipment as definedin 3.1.6, 3.1.16, and 3.1.29.1.2 It is t
5、he intent of this specification to specify productsfor use by individuals age 12 and above.1.3 This specification shall be used with its accompanyingtest method, Test Method F 2277.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values in parentheses are for information only
6、.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced

Openings smal
32、ler than 9.5mm (0.37 in.) or holes that are required for the adjustment ofthe machine into and out of a use position are exempt from thisrequirement.4.2.3 WeightsWeights shall move only when displacedintentionally. Weights shall move freely along their guidemeans and return to the resting point. The
33、 travel of the weightsshall be controlled by the user such that no uncontrolledpendulum swing shall occur.4.2.4 Weight Selection PinWeight selection pins shall befitted with a positive retention means.4.2.5 Adjustment and Locking MeansAll adjustment andlocking means shall function securely. The poss
34、ibility ofF2216052inadvertent disengagement shall be reduced by spring reten-tion, clamps or other means.Adjustment knobs and levers shallnot interfere with the users range of movement.4.2.6 Handgrips:4.2.6.1 Integral HandgripsIntegral handgrips, if requiredfor proper use as defined by the manufactu
35、rer, shall beconspicuous and shall reduce slippage during normal use.4.2.6.2 Applied HandgripsApplied handgrips shall be of amaterial that reduces slippage and shall withstand an appliedpulling force of 90 N (20.2 lb) without movement in thedirection of the applied pulling force.4.2.6.3 Rotating Han
36、dgripsRotating handgrips shall beconstrained against lateral movement along their rotational axisand be constructed of a material that reduces slippage.4.2.7 Machine Ingress and EgressIf the user cannot (afteradjusting the machine according to the manufacturers instruc-tions) attain the loaded start
37、ing position for the machine, thenthe machine shall be provided with an assist means.4.2.8 Foot SupportBars or plates designed to support theusers feet during exercise or to assist in ingress/egress fromthe machine shall be fitted with or be of a material or surfacetype or configuration that reduces
38、 slippage.4.2.9 Ropes, Belts, Chains, or Other Means:4.2.9.1 GeneralRopes, belts, chains, and other means,including all attachment devices (links, shackles, end fittings,and termination means) shall not fail with a load equal to sixtimes the maximum static tension developed by the machineduring oper
39、ation and shall pass the endurance guidelines setforth in 4.5.3. All end terminations shall not be subjected tocyclic bending under normal machine operation as defined bythe manufacturer.4.2.9.2 ChainsChains for selectorized strength equipmentshall meet the general requirements of ANSI B29.1.4.2.10
40、PulleysPulleys for rope/belt drive machines shallrotate freely under all extrinsic loads.4.2.10.1 Wire Rope PulleysThe groove radius, r, of thepulley for wire rope driven machines shall meet the wire ropemanufacturers guidelines, allow for passing of the enduranceguidelines set forth in 4.5.3 or lie
41、 within the range given by thefollowing equation, or both:Cd21 5%toCd21 15 % (1)with Cd/2 + 10 % being the optimum. Cdis defined as thenominal wire rope diameter including coating. The treaddiameter, d, of the pulley shall be a minimum of 18 timesgreater than the bare wire rope diameter (without coa
42、ting).4.2.10.2 Belt PulleysThe diameter of the pulley shall beof sufficient size to yield a belt life meeting the parametersspecified in 4.5.3. Belt pulleys shall be designed to preventdisengagement.4.2.11 Rope/Belt GuardsDisengagement of ropes/beltsshall be prevented by the provision of adequate re
43、tentionguards or enclosures.4.3 Entrapment Points:4.3.1 General CommentsUnlike other machinery, selec-torized strength equipment is fully controlled by the user of theequipment. It is therefore assumed that the user shall takeresponsibility for his/her actions while using the machine andcan prevent
44、the inadvertent contact with machine componentswithin the users field of view by the user or a third party bystopping the exercise or movement of the machine. For thisreason, the discussion of entrapment points is broken downinto “within” and “outside” the field of view of the user.Wherever possible
45、, the design of movable components shallavoid catch, shear or pull-in points.4.3.1.1 In general, the fingers are the body components mostlikely to be injured. The primary exception to this is weightstacks where feet or hands, or both, could also be injured.Weight stacks shall be spaced less than 9.5
46、 mm (0.375 in.) orgreater than 25 mm (0.98 in.) from any fixed frame member.This spacing shall remain constant through the travel range ofthe weight stack. Weight stacks shall be spaced at least 25 mm(0.98 in.) from the base frame of the machine. Strengthequipment that includes weight stack enclosur
47、es designed inaccordance with 4.4 as a permanent feature of the machine areexempt from this requirement, provided that the enclosureextends past the rest position of the bottom weight plate.4.3.1.2 The user means or other moving components, orboth, shall not pass within 60 mm (2.36 in.) of the movin
48、gweight stack during the normal operation of the machine, asdefined in the instructions provided by the manufacturer.Mechanical stops are generally provided at one or bothextremes of the user means range of travel. Since the usermeans will contact the stops at these locations, they areexcluded from
49、the clearance requirements. However, if the stopis physically part of the moving user means, then it shall passno closer than 25 mm (0.98 in.) to any fixed frame membersthroughout its range of travel.4.3.1.3 If the machine framework or the users body place-ment, while using the machine in accordance with the manu-facturers instructions, prevents the uncontrolled access of athird party into the area of concern, then guarding is notrequired. The users body shall prevent access throughout theentire exercise range of mo
