# NordicTrack CX990 28356 Elliptical Resistance Motor Brake Tensioner RM85
The NordicTrack CX990 28356 Elliptical Resistance Motor Brake Tensioner is a preowned replacement part for the resistance system of a NordicTrack elliptical machine. This component carries the local SKU RM85 and part number 193223. It may help replace the original resistance motor, brake, or tensioner assembly when your elliptical requires a matching used part for repair. The mounting plate is cracked, so review the condition carefully before ordering and confirm that this part suits your repair needs.
Product Details and Benefits
This item belongs to the **Resistance Motors** category and fits the NordicTrack CX990 28356 elliptical model identified in the product listing. As part of the machine’s resistance system, the motor and brake tensioner assembly supports the mechanism that controls or adjusts exercise resistance. Replacing a damaged or worn component can help you restore your elliptical without replacing the entire machine.
The part is sold in **preowned condition**. Each component receives inspection by skilled technicians before shipment. However, this specific unit has a **cracked mounting plate**. The crack remains an important condition detail and may affect installation, mounting, or suitability for your repair. Examine the product images and compare the part with your existing assembly before purchase.
Used fitness equipment parts can provide a practical option when an original component becomes damaged or difficult to source. Reusing a compatible part may also help extend the working life of an elliptical and reduce unnecessary equipment waste. Because this is a preowned replacement component, its appearance may show normal signs of previous use.

## Why Choose This Replacement Part?
This NordicTrack elliptical resistance motor brake tensioner may suit a repair project when you need the matching component rather than a complete replacement machine. Its exact model identification makes it easier to compare against the part already installed in your CX990 28356.
