5 DOF Motion Simulator DIY with Traction Loss

[@sv3351]

This is literally the perfect combination. This needs to be put through production

[@jamesmoore7858]

This linear actuators can be capable of traction loss as well with a few minor changes, at least I think so. I'm any case, the 4-contact point suspension based system shown here is the ultimate realistic motion setup in my opinion. I want to make one of these that'll work on console, and will also be able to attach to nearly all popular racing rig chassis on the market now, so there'll be no need to buy a new sim rig in most cases.

[@mdblake00]

Nice setup!! Do you mind sharing where you purchased the linear actuators from?

[@WilsonBradleyTheOfficial]

So where is the full build video?

[@GordonJones88]

Thanks for making this video and showing us your DIY motion rig.

[@LeadNarrator]

Do you by any chance have a build guide for this?

[@fulybuilt]

Hey Steve what actuators are you using? Thanks

[@diymotionsimulator3744]

Late reply by me PT-Actuators they are relatively inexpensive but you have to order them from China.

[@bliglum]

Wow! Awesome. Want!!!

[@motte-8131]

Hi is it possible to contact you, to learn how you made the traction loss part. I have a woodrig so very interested. Please share som info

[@axelamoe]

Would you share some info on your mounting solution rather then using the 80/20 profiles being used on the sfx100 I would appreciate it. Thank you and it looks great

[@anassakaria]

I want to learn how to make this. Any advise?

[@yasin_cicek]

Hi I must to say first really nice 👍 excellent! And I want to do the same this one from which company did you supply the servo cylinder? and how much did you buy the control box and servos together? alibaba also looked exactly but I need to be sure which is really a good product

[@PUMYDavidHerrera]

Expectacular 😘😘😘👍👍👍

[@GablesSMS]

Greetings from Colombia, Dude, you're rig is simply perfect!!! I want to try to make one for me and my biggest concern is about how to connect the rig to the console/pc to get the movement variables, can you give me a little tip to start? any help will be very appreciate

[@kinitex]

www.tindie.com/products/tronicgr/amc1280usb-motion-simulator-controller-deluxe-kit/ I use this motion controller which makes the actuators moved based on the telemetry received from the game. It uses Sim Tools software.

[@manerisports7937]

i want to build this too how much it costs you ?

[@AL.farmlife]

which motion is it?

[@themarenda]

How much did it cost, and is it worth it? I want to build my own but i'm still in researching and calculation phase

[@kinitex]

Everything for just the motion came out to about $6k and yes it was worth every penny. Especially the traction loss, a lot of people just settle on the 4 DOF but if you have the room and skills to build a traction loss I highly recommend you include that.

[@themarenda]

@@kinitex i saw that dof reality has a 6 axis model for either 3.5k or 5k$ depends of motor strength, i was hoping that building it myself would be cheaper. I would have more expenses since now i'm playing on ps4 and have g29, decent computer and better wheel would cost me another 3k$ i will have to rethink this, thanks for the info

[@diymotionsimulator3744]

@@themarenda I built my own 500mm ballscrew actuators using 2 inch steel pipes, 3D modeled CNC parts with 750 Watt AC servo motors. The expensive parts where the AC servo 285 dollars each and the CNC machined parts. I had a local operation do the CNC machining the 6061 I think aluminium parts for around 200 for each. It ended up costing me around 600 per actuator. Total for 500 mm stroke actuator was around 2400 add the controller 250 dollars more. The platform built it myself for around 1800 including 49 inch Samsung curved monitor.

[@abrammanoge]

What actuators are you using

[@maskystudio9193]

How much maximum load

[@pinello007]

That looks great! Is this Xsimulator software?

[@kinitex]

Ola Kjølstad yes

[@AL.farmlife]

where can I get this mounting kit?

[@FullFledged2010]

Are those stepper motors? Nema 23?

[@kinitex]

Servos from www.pt-actuator.com/proshow.asp?strID=156 The site loads super slow btw

[@diymotionsimulator3744]

They are likely 220 vott 750 watt servos Power: 0.75Kw Voltage: 220V Currrent: 3A Rotation Rate: 3000PRM Rated Torque: 2.4N.m Max Torque: 7.1N.m Moment Coefficient: 0.8N.m/A Resistance: 2.88Ω
