Among the Quietest Platforms for Shared-Room Training
The list price is the full price of the standard unit shown here - net and ex-works. VAT is normally zero on export orders; options, delivery and any duties are confirmed at order.
Three engineering decisions that define this product.
One of the quietest 3DOF platforms at this payload, running full motion with no acoustic isolation or enclosed bay.
A center sites it beside instructor desks and open classrooms, so one room holds the motion run and the briefing.
The trade-off on a louder platform is a ventilated enclosure that steadily eats into usable training-floor space.
550 kg payload across pitch, roll and heave, enough to seat an instructor and a trainee in one cockpit.
One platform runs paired instructor-and-trainee scenarios, not single-seat cycles, so two learners share one run and learners-per-hour climbs.
Single-seat rigs split a group brief across bookings, multiplying instructor hours and stretching one course over days.
Electric drive on 230V single-phase mains, transport wheels and leveling feet available, no three-phase wiring or oil to service.
One person rolls it in, bolts down and powers up from a single-phase industrial socket, reaching first run without three-phase rewiring.
A hydraulic platform adds recurring oil changes on top of a three-phase installation, lifting the running cost each season.

This chart pairs any two motion axes to show how far they reach together, drawn to scale from the platform's measured limits. Drag the marker anywhere in the plot to read exact values and check whether that pose is reachable.
Traced 1:1 from the platform's measured work-envelope plots. The other axes are held at zero.
Powered by ForceSeatPM, with 154+ commercial and entertainment simulators supported out of the box. The ForceSeatMI license, held per motion platform with the key on the PC, adds native SDK access for custom logic in C++, C#, Python, Unity and UE5.

Three electric servo motors each turn a helical-bevel gearbox, and pulling rods on ball joints carry that rotation up to the upper frame. Arranged as a low-profile tripod, the three rotary actuators combine to move the platform in pitch, roll and heave, the three axes that carry braking and cornering cues on the road and pitch, bank and vertical cues in flight.
The result is a platform that the integrator installs with hand tools. On start-up it self-calibrates each actuator position, so every session begins from the same reference and repeats the same way.
For boarding the platform lowers fully to its lowest position, and the wired E-STOP brings motion to a controlled stop on demand.

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.
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.
A dedicated account manager reads the message directly.
