    Hello!
    I am building a 2DOF SCN5 and I need some advice about the frame. I chosen something compact because I have no space at home and saw the post of noorbest https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dx-compact-simulator.5866/ and was wondering if it could be made with a pair of SCN5.
    I already made both SCN5 work with Live for Speed and bough a chair for it. The chair, my weight, plus the costrunction to be moved would be about 100kg.
    I just need to build the base and I was wondering if it could be made in any of these ways instead of shoulder mount:

    Sim Rig Front Straight.jpg ... or... Sim Rig Acostado.jpg

    And a Close-up:
    Sim Rig Front Straight_03.jpg ... or ... Sim Rig Acostado_01.jpg

    If the strenght of the motor is enough, I would need to know the measures of X and Y, which are where leverage forces are aplied.

    So thanks in advance! (And sorry if my question is dumb!)
    -Ralf.

    I think you need to determine the SCN load capacity, they are certainly fast enough but with a compact design there is not a lot of inherent leverage, so you need a fair bit of torque to move it.

    Perhaps one of the many SCN owners here can post the full specs.

    You are right! I am sorry I forgot to add the specs.
    It's a SCN5-10-100as03 (Dyadic is the brand)
    Max Thrust 100 (N) / 10.2 (Kgf)
    Push force mode (N) 70 / 7.1kg
    Max. Speed (mm/s) Typ. 400

    for 100 mm and levers on mind I would consider something like this:

    According to his youtube videos, after 6 years of use (and counting) not damage of his SCN5 actuators... Good luck!
