The Omnitech AccuPacer Treadmill can be used to study muscle atrophy, stress, running, fatigue, and many other exercise paradigms. Each Treadmill has an endless conveyor-type belt, driven by a DC servomotor with optical encoder for precise speed control. The animals are separated from each other by opaque partitions. The motor drive electronics permits the user to select any speed from 0 up to 100 meters per minute. The grade can be adjusted with a motorized grade adjuster. A shock grid is built into each channel, which can be used to train animals to run. The front of the treadmill is made of black acrylic so that the animals runs towards the dark. Thus, the animals are provided with both negative and positive stimuli resulting in a significantly reduced training period.
