(1)Vibration Motor Model

The model is based on the principle of action-reaction. This is the most common and easiest method, but produces loud noise and imbalanced body movements. It malfunctions frequently, does not have accurate vertical movement and heavily impacts bones and joints.

(2) Crank-style Model

The rotary cam creates a vertical vibration by pushing the pedestal up and down. As the frequency is lowered, undesirable horizontal movement also occurs. Power strength is contingent upon speed acceleration. This model places considerable negative impact on the body.

(3) Seesaw-style Model

Mechanical crank-style moves in a seesaw fashion (i.e. left-up, right-down) and has unfavorable horizontal movement. Vibration is concentrated on the lower body, therefore, can cause hip and spinal injury.

(4) Sonic Wave Motor Model (Turbosonic)

This model employs the technology of audio amplifier and speaker systems. It works effectively even at low frequencies and has adjustable power output. It has little mechanical friction, very little noise and infrequent malfunctions. It also creates precise vertical vibrations.  It is the first model to be developed with the ability to control frequencies, depending on individual body and health conditions.
