Why this model

Three engineering decisions that define this product.

Two People Install It in a Morning

The lightest 3TM installs with hand tools in under one square meter, with the mounting interface documented for the integrator.

A VR center or classroom takes delivery on a standard floor, with no forklift or loading dock, and opens the station that day.

A heavier platform ships on a pallet and needs forklift access, ruling it out of the cramped rooms where this compact tripod still fits.

Single-Phase, No Three-Phase Feed

Single-phase 230V power, roughly 0.3 kW in typical use, runs from a dedicated industrial CEE socket - no three-phase feed.

A multi-station operator powers each kiosk from a single-phase industrial socket, with no three-phase panel upgrade, holding every fit-out within budget.

The trade-off on a three-phase platform is a panel upgrade and inspection that delay commissioning by weeks.

Electric Drive, Nothing to Drain

Three electric servo motors drive compact worm gearboxes, so the platform runs with no hydraulic circuit, pump or reservoir.

The operator books commercial sessions back to back without oil supply, leak checks or fluid disposal, so the platform keeps earning.

A hydraulic alternative, by contrast, carries oil-change cycles that pull a station offline for hours at a stretch.

Package & Options

What's in the Box.

Hardware, software and licenses included with every unit - plus the optional add-ons available on this model.

Hardware

  • PS-3TM-200
    A low-profile three-actuator tripod on worm-geared servos. Self-locking, so it holds position on a power loss without brakes.
  • PS-SB230 Cabinet
    Power and control - AC/DC protection and controller, fed from a dedicated 230V single-phase industrial CEE socket. For a 120V supply, contact Technical Support.
  • Inverter Cabinets (QI12 + QI3)
    PS-SB230-QI12 and PS-SB230-QI3 - two rack cabinets that hold the motor inverters, chained from the PS-SB230 and wired to the platform. The power set ships as three rack cabinets in all.
  • PS-SBR Remote + E-Stop
    The PS-SBR remote (E-STOP, KNEEL, POWER LOCK) and PS-SBEC stop button - the hardware safety chain to park or stop motion. The keyed POWER LOCK keeps arming with the operator; the 5 m PS-SBEC lead adds a stop within reach.
  • Cable Set
    Mains, USB to the host PC, and the PS-SBR remote and EMCY safety leads - wired together as delivered.
  • Packing & Handling
    Ships factory-assembled and calibrated in a forklift-ready crate - the integrator unpacks and installs, with no on-site build.

Software & Licenses

  • ForceSeatPM
    Auto-detects 154+ supported games with pre-tuned profiles. Included free, with free software updates.
  • Sim Profiles
    Pre-tuned motion profiles for the popular sims and games, so the first session already feels right.
  • ACE
    The motion cueing engine that turns simulator telemetry into felt acceleration - the sharp onset of a bend or brake on the platform, with sustained forces held by coordinated tilt rather than a crude static roll.
  • VR HeadWay
    VR motion compensation that cancels the platform's own movement from the headset, so the view stays stable and motion sickness stays low. Included free.
  • Docs & 3D Model
    Full documentation and a simplified 3D STP model, plus the EC Declaration of Incorporation (2006/42/EC) for partly completed machinery - the platform is integrated into a final machine on site.
  • 24-Mo Warranty
    A 24-month warranty on the hardware and motion electronics, with free software updates throughout.

Optional Software and Services

  • ForceSeatMI - Motion SDK
    Motion SDK to drive the platform from custom software on top of ForceSeatPM. Licensed per motion platform, with the key stored on the PC.
    850
  • ForceSeatDI - Direct Interface SDK
    Low-level SDK that drives the hardware directly, without ForceSeatPM - each platform driven independently, on Windows, Linux or Raspberry Pi. Licensed per platform, with the key stored on the motion controller.
    2 750
  • Remote Training (online)
    Six-hour online session - overview, safety, operation, maintenance, ForceSeatPM setup, diagnostics and tuning. Per session.
    1 800
  • VR HeadWay CrossPC
    A paid VR add-on, licensed separately from the base VR HeadWay. One CrossPC license covers exactly two VR users on a shared platform - each seat has its own rendering PC and geometry-correct compensation (for example pilot and copilot). More seats need an additional license.
    1 900
  • Motion Theater
    Plays pre-authored motion with video or group sessions - for theaters, attractions and briefings, not live sim. Per platform.
    1 300
  • More Options
    Profile packs, installation, reports, extended warranty and bespoke development - talk to the Motion Systems team to tailor it.

Deep Dive

How It Works.

TM · Low-Profile Tripod

Three electric rotary actuators each turn a worm gearbox, and pulling rods on ball joints carry that rotation up to the upper frame. The worm drive keeps this among the most compact platforms in the range - a large gear reduction in one small stage, quiet and self-holding, with just the slight play any gear pair carries. Arranged as a low-profile tripod, the three rotary actuators combine to move the platform in pitch, roll and heave - the axes that read as braking, cornering and road texture.

The platform installs with hand tools and runs from a dedicated 230V single-phase industrial CEE socket, so no three-phase feed is needed. On start-up it self-calibrates each actuator position, so every session begins from the same reference.

For boarding the platform lowers fully to its lowest position, and the wired E-STOP brings motion to a controlled stop on demand.

Frequently Asked

Questions the team gets first.

Payload, motion envelope, delivery and software integration - answered up front, ahead of the first call.

The team provides mounting references so the platform drops onto an existing rig. On the software side, the Hardware Imitator M10 - a USB box that mirrors the platform's control interface - is available on request with a first platform order that includes a ForceSeatMI or ForceSeatDI license, and it comes with a 6-month SDK license so the software team can validate integration before delivery. Custom integration runs through the ForceSeat SDK with motion profiles set in ForceSeatPM; where a build calls for it, the engineering team handles any platform firmware changes.

Platforms run on the ForceSeat software stack: ForceSeatPM delivers out-of-the-box support for popular simulation titles, and the ForceSeatMI and ForceSeatDI SDKs expose a documented API for custom telemetry in C, C++, C# and Python, plus plugins for Unity and Unreal Engine.

Yes, on three levels. The catalog spans payload classes from compact cockpits to full-cabin builds, so most projects start with the right standard model and a payload reserve. For oversized cockpits and cabins, the motion envelope and dynamics are then matched to the load - in software on every platform, and with adjustable hardware travel limiters on selected higher-payload models. Where the catalog does not fit, a bespoke build scopes payload, envelope and travel. Share the intended payload, its mass and the motion requirements and the team will confirm the right configuration.

Delivery includes installation guidance that specifies the mounting points and the power and electrical setup per model; site preparation, floor requirements and platform anchoring are the integrator's responsibility. Every platform ships factory-tested and arrives ready for integration into the simulator build.

Professional Series platforms are built to order, typically in 6-10 weeks from payment, with the exact schedule confirmed at quote. With the optional Hardware Imitator M10, software integration runs in parallel with production, so go-live is not gated by delivery. The compact Qubic System line is often in stock and typically ships within 1-3 weeks.

Every Professional Series platform ships with a 24-month warranty, extendable by agreement. Spare-parts manufacturing and diagnostic support continue for the operational life of the platform, with SLA options for fleet and training deployments.

Integrate the PS-3TM-200 into the project.

One team scopes the build, carries it through integration and commissioning - with integrator partners where a full simulator is the goal - and stays involved once the rig runs in the field.
