gym80 weight stacks: Sygnum, Pure Kraft, cable stations and more

What the gym80 figures tell you

The Sygnum and Sygnum Dual machines are selectorized: you move a pin in a weight stack. Their product pages list a standard weight stack and, for most machines, a heavier optional stack. A stack weight is what the plates weigh, not what you feel at the handle: cables, pulleys, cams and lever arms sit between the stack and your hands.

The Pure Kraft and Pure Kraft Strong machines are plate-loaded: you load plates on a lever arm or a sled. Their product pages state the maximum load the machine is built for, but not what the empty arm or sled weighs, so their starting weight reads no data yet. We copy each quote as written.

A stack weight describes the plates on the pin; a maximum load describes what the frame is built to carry. Neither is a conversion between brands. The only cross-brand figures we hold for gym80 are the owner-stated gym80 vs Technogym factors for cable stations and pec decks, which are estimates and live in their own guide.

How to read the figures below

• Sygnum and Sygnum Dual: the standard weight stack and, where gym80 offers one, the optional heavier stack. The machine in your gym has one or the other, so check which stack is fitted before you compare.
• Pure Kraft and Pure Kraft Strong: the maximum load as the product page states it. gym80 does not state the weight of the empty arm or sled, so the starting weight reads no data yet.
• Cable stations: gym80 states one stack per side; the figure shown is the stack on each side, as quoted, never added up.
• Smith machine (Basic Multi Press Station): gym80 states its maximum load only. The weight of the bar is not stated on the product page, so it reads no data yet.
• Each figure is shown in the units gym80 prints, with its badge, the quote, the link and the date we read the page. We never convert, add or round anything.
• Where a product page states no stack or maximum load, nothing is shown for it: we never fill a gap with a guess. The same pin can feel different from one machine to the next.

Compare with other brands

To see the stack or the starting weight of the same movement at other brands, open the guide for that movement or the plate-loaded starting weight guide, which lists every plate-loaded machine in the catalog.

For cable stations and pec decks, the gym80 vs Technogym guide shows the conversion factors stated by the site owner for the two brands (his own measurement on one cable station, extended to the others), with their scope and their estimated level.

Converting a load between two machines needs a force curve for both, or a stated factor for the brand pair. Outside the gym80 vs Technogym factors, no gym80 pair can be compared yet, so the comparator answers "No data yet".

How every figure is labelled

MachineConvert never invents a number. Each figure carries one of three levels, with its source link and the date it was read:

Measured

Read on the machine itself with a force gauge, following the measurement protocol, with a proof (continuous video or photos) and the date.

Manufacturer

Quoted word for word from the manufacturer's official page or document, in the units printed there, with the link and the date it was read. A stack weight says what the plates weigh, not what you feel at the handle.

Estimated

Computed from a mechanical model of the machine (lever, cam or pulley) built from sourced inputs. Each estimate shows its method, its error band and a derivation page, and is marked as not verified by measurement.

MethodologyData rules

Help fill the gaps

If you train on a gym80 machine and have a luggage scale or a force gauge, weighing the empty Pure Kraft arm, the Smith bar or the force at the handle for a given pin is the fastest way to turn "No data yet" into a real comparison. Every submission is reviewed before it is published.
