ROI/Cost – Digital Servo vs Hydraulic Motion Platform System

The Real Cost Difference Shows Up Over Time When teams compare motion platform designs, the conversation often starts—and ends—with upfront cost. Hydraulic systems can appear less expensive at first glance, especially when comparing actuators alone. But for 6DOF and 7DOF motion platforms, this narrow view hides the costs that matter most over the life of the

6DOF Motion Base for NASA Artemis Testing – A Case Study

Application Overview One of the most demanding real‑world applications of a high‑fidelity motion base platform is closed‑loop avionics and navigation system testing. For NASA’s Artemis Space Launch System (SLS) program, a 6DOF Motion Base was used because precise motion replication was required to validate avionics behavior under dynamic conditions without introducing artificial disturbances or latency

The Motion Base Requirement

The Motion Base Platform Requirement (As seen through the eyes of a Feedback Control System Engineer) This white paper was originally written by Mr. Bruce Baker. I have taken the liberty of republishing my father\’s works for all to learn from. Enjoy – Rachel Over the last several years, there has been much discussion about the

Florida Institute of Technology mentions Servos in published Article

Last week, FIT\’s Human Spaceflight Lab had an article written about what they were doing. A few years ago, Mr. Doule came to us with an idea… an idea of something that he required, but wasn\’t quite sure as to how to get there. Take a look at the article and how Servos helped them

When should a simulator require refurbishment or be replaced?

When should a simulator require refurbishment and when should it need to be replaced? That is a problem that every training company has to think about when it comes to aging simulators. With more and more pilots needing training and proper training at that, our aging simulators need some help. If the systems were upgraded
