Belt Drive

Incredibly popular with children and adults alike, the “Squeeze Play Running Man” at Minute Maid Park in Houston is powered by a simple, long lasting belt drive. The system involves a synchronous belt driven by a gear motor, and a aluminum-skinned figure running on a hardened stainless steel rail track. Safety is assured through a two-operator set-up, fencing on all sides of the Running Man, and hydraulic bumpers at both ends of the system.
