The small animal treadmill is a specialized device for training and metabolic research on animals like mice, rats, and rabbits. It is vital for studies on physical fitness, endurance, sports injuries, nutritional drugs, and sports physiology and pathology, enhancing the accuracy of training quantification. Key Features: Operation Mode: A 7-inch touchscreen interface for manual control of power, electrical stimulation intensity, channel blocking, and setting parameters for electric shock count or duration to determine exhaustion. Runway Design: Modular with five independent runways, adjustable in number and length (30-60 cm) for various experiments. Motor Control: High-precision servo motors with rapid response (1 ms) and low noise (<30 dB), offering a wide speed range (0-100 m/min) and closed-loop feedback for accuracy. Electrical Stimulation: DC constant current adjustable from 0 to 4.5 mA in 0.05 mA increments for precise control. Signal Detection: Current detection measures electric shocks, improving on previous methods' issues like slow response and inaccuracy. Data Recording: Automatic recording when preset electric shock count is reached, with automatic detection of exhaustion for animal protection. Data Management: Saves up to 50 data sets, accessible for browsing, printing, or uploading via a COM interface. Angle Adjustment: ±25° inclination angle adjustment for simulating various conditions and assessing physical responses. Data Storage and Connectivity: Automatic data storage and COM interface support for easy data management and analysis. Measurement Accuracy: Precise to the centimeter with an error margin under 0.1% for reliable data collection.
