Abstract
A braking system for gymnastic machines having one rotating member, as a flywheel, on which magnetic braking members are arranged, and operating methods thereof. The system comprises a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic field intensity induced from the braking members on the flywheel, and a sensor for measuring the rotation velocity of the flywheel. The braking system comprises also a second magnetic sensor, arranged at a predetermined distance from the first magnetic sensor, to measure the magnetic field induced on the flywheel as conditioned by the structure of the gymnastic machine, and a temperature sensor, arranged in correspondence of the first magnetic sensor, to detect the temperature of the flywheel. The system comprises a control logic unit, operatively connected to the first and second magnetic sensor, to the temperature sensor and to the angular velocity sensor.
