3DOF Motion Platform

Pitch, roll and heave on an electric three-axis motion base. 300, 1,000 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 55°, heave to 240 mm, 500 mm/s and 180°/s onset — fast enough for kerb strikes, turbulence and road texture, stiff enough to hold tracking when the cabin is loaded off-centre. Electromechanical drive only: no hydraulics, no compressor, no oil. 220 V single-phase through the 1,000 kg class, 380 V three-phase for 2,000 kg. Each unit ships with the Gmotion multi-axis controller 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.
