3DOF Motion Platform

Pitch, roll and heave on an electric three-axis motion base. 250, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 kg classes for simulator cabins, trainers and test rigs.

A three-axis motion platform for integrators who need vertical cues and tilt without the footprint or budget of a full hexapod. Pitch and roll to 25°, heave to 240 mm at up to 480 mm/s and 0.5 g — clean vertical cues for kerb strikes, turbulence and road texture, on a frame stiff enough to hold tracking when the cabin is loaded off-centre. Electric gear-motor crank drive only: no hydraulics, no compressor, no oil. 220 V single-phase for the 250 and 500 kg classes, 380 V three-phase from 1,000 kg. Each unit ships on a still frame with the Gmotion control block and the G-Control motion software; mounting drawings, a payload-specific motion envelope and wiring documentation are issued before the project drawing is signed. In service in driver trainers, light-vehicle and bus simulators, basic-procedure flight trainers, university research and OEM cabins across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Lead time 6–12 weeks.

Range of motion is full travel between end positions; single-axis maximum values. Cabin, seats, controls, displays and VR are integrator-supplied. Final figures are confirmed in the project drawing pack. Custom mounting interfaces, extended envelopes and bespoke payload classes are quoted on request.

Typical use cases

  • Driver-training simulators — light vehicle, bus and coach, emergency fleets
  • Rally, circuit and off-road driver-development rigs
  • Basic-procedure flight and rotorcraft trainers (sub-FTD class)
  • Research labs studying vestibular response, motion sickness and HMI
  • Motion theatres, dark rides and VR pods supplied to ride builders
  • OEM cabin integration under private label
