Poly-V Drive Belt
The drive belt transfers torque from the handle assembly to the electromagnetic flywheel. If the belt becomes glazed or the ribbing loses its geometric profile, it creates high-frequency harmonic vibrations against the pulleys, manifesting as a high-pitched whine that increases with stroke speed.

Idler Pulley Assembly
The idler pulley maintains constant tension on the drive belt and contains high-speed sealed bearings. Because the idler has a significantly smaller diameter than the flywheel, it rotates at much higher RPMs; bearing race pitting or lubricant failure in this component typically results in a persistent mechanical whine.

Flywheel Bearing Set
The heavy flywheel relies on internal ball bearings to rotate smoothly against the electromagnetic resistance. If these bearings experience axial misalignment or contamination, the rolling elements will produce a characteristic metallic whining or grinding sound as they pass through the load zone during the drive phase of the rowing stroke.
