Six-Axis (6DOF) Motion Base Platforms

Servos & Simulation, Inc.

Servos & Simulation offers a comprehensive line of six-axis (6DOF) motion base platforms, engineered to support a wide range of applications and payload capacities. Each system is fully customizable, featuring an integrated top platform that can be modified to meet your specific requirements. For added convenience, we also offer pre-drilling services for mounting seats, cockpits, cabins, or other equipment (additional costs apply).

Applications Across Industries

Six-axis motion base platforms are highly versatile and used in a variety of sectors, including:

Military training simulations

Commercial entertainment systems

Medical and research testing environments

For example, in the entertainment industry, these platforms power immersive virtual reality experiences that rely on precise motion feedback. In military settings, they simulate real-world scenarios to enhance training effectiveness. Thanks to their adaptability, these platforms are a valuable asset in any professional simulation environment.

Customization Options

At Servos & Simulation, we understand that no two projects are alike. That’s why we offer extensive customization options, including:

Payload capacities

Platform dimensions

Control system configurations

Motion profiles

Whether you require a specific stroke length, angular range, or integration with existing systems, our engineering team will work closely with you to deliver a solution that fits seamlessly into your operational framework.

Key Benefits

Investing in a six-axis motion base platform provides several advantages:

Enhanced training realism

Greater user engagement

Improved operational flexibility

Durability and long-term reliability

Moreover, our platforms feature advanced motion control technology for smoother, more responsive movement—critical for high-stakes environments such as flight simulation and medical testing.

Weight Capacities

We offer a range of standard payload capacities to suit different applications:

500 lbs (227 kg) – Ideal for gaming rides, VR setups, and small equipment testing

1,000 lbs (454 kg) – Suitable for rides with 1–4 passengers

2,000 lbs (907 kg) and up – Designed for multi-seat configurations with walkways

4,500 lbs (2,041 kg) and 8,000 lbs (3,629 kg) – Built for large-scale entertainment rides and FAA Level D full-flight simulators

Custom stroke and payload combinations are also available upon request.

Technical Specifications

Each six-axis platform includes the following motion axes:

Roll, Pitch, Heave, Yaw, Surge, and Sway

All systems are servo-controlled with a closed feedback loop between the motor and controller, ensuring precise, real-time response to input signals—whether from a computer or analog control voltage. Notably, our systems operate without the need for encoders, limits, or stops typically required in linear systems.

Included Components

Every motion base platform system includes:

Integrated electronics in a COTS rack-mount chassis
Up to 50 feet of interface cabling
Hubbell 220VAC plug, mating input connector, and generic system manual
Integrated safety braking system and e-stop integration
Full system manual (ICD and maintenance) with complete drawing set
