Model 400-X Feedback Control Loader System
Introducing the Model 400-X Feedback Control Loader System, your ultimate solution for versatile training simulation! This adaptable powerhouse seamlessly integrates with a wide range of equipment, from steering wheels to throttles, collectives, seat shakers, and tillers. Engineered with cutting-edge minimal to zero-backlash gearboxes and DC brush-type motors, it ensures frictionless and inertia-free flight controls.
Certified to meet the highest standards, including FAA Level D, this system is your gateway to unparalleled simulation fidelity. Experience the revolutionary coupled-mass servo force-loop technology, paired with responsive electric actuators and advanced mathematical software, delivering the most precise control loading available. Whether simulating fully boosted, partially boosted, or non-boosted control systems, the 400-X adapts effortlessly, offering variable spring rates and damping to match dynamic pressure changes. With features like friction, stops, breakouts, and more, plus the ability to link controls via software, this system is designed for ultimate flexibility. Pair it with the 300-X Feedback Control Loader System and our full Motion Base Platform for a comprehensive training experience.
Enjoy peace of mind with a full one-year warranty and lifetime technical support, with extended warranties available. Elevate your simulation training with the Model 400-X today!

Model 400-x Actuator - Other configurations available.
model 400-x actuator
Flight Control Model:
Coupled mass system. Model includes cable spring, coupled mass, friction, damping, aero hinge moment, aero damping, boost actuators, non-linear gearing, breakout, centering spring, for and aft stops (fixed or movable), trim, autopilot engage, weight on nose wheel, nose wheel velocity and nose wheel velocity angle.
Control Parameters from Host:
Dynamic pressure, roll rate, pitch rate, yaw rate, dynamic pressure divided by velocity, boost oil pressure, autopilot command, autopilot engage, weight on nose wheel, nose wheel velocity and nose wheel angle.
Variables to Host:
Stick positions, Pedal position, Surface positions, control forces, nose wheel angle, nose wheel force, error code. Others available upon request.
Interfaces:
Several interfaces are available: Bit 3, Ethernet, DR-11W (Concurrent), HSD (Encore), and UBC (Universal Bus Controller, Harris). Bit 3 is the easiest to use, Ethernet is the lowest cost for hardware. RS-232 can be used but is usually too slow. DR-11W, HSD, and UBC are essentially obsolete and should only be used with older host computers.
Power Requirements:
115 (230) volts, 7 (3.5) amps peak per axis
115 (230) volts, 1 (0.5) amps quiescent per axis
115 (230) volts, 3 (1.5) amps for the processor
