SimXperience II + JoyRider = Realism??

That sim look pretty cool, and would be great for oof-raod simulations where vertical-g sensations are critical. Doesn't look like it would be to easy to get in and out of though.

I think that one of the reasons why the Frex style simulators are successful at fooling the brain with such a small amount of motion is because the screen, wheel and pedals are fixed and that adds to the illusion. I speculate that once you begin moving the wheel, pedals and screen, that you require alot more motion in order to fool the brain and have it seem as realistic as a Frex.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to drive and Rock-N-Ride or any other of the carriage-based simulators to find out how much motion at what speeds would be required in order for one of them to feel realistic.

How much are these motors you are talking about? At some point, I would think that these more expensive simulators would just move to electro-magnetic servo motors.

Hi Bernard
The force dynamics specs. motor peak 3hp/thrust max.500lbs /speed max.640mmsec/Gmax.2
costs 401 54000,00us/D they use ballscrews.
With new H-Bridge 24v/100amp whe can get it contious.
With my last replay i was going out from Magmotor s-28-400 4.5hp max see www.ampflow.com
foro more servomotors look @ www.servo2go.com

I'm not sure where the balance point is on the the sim but it seems to me if you counter balance the weight of the average person to the pedal side of the piviot point there would be hardly any strain on the SCN5. In other words, if you detatched the actuators and had someone sit in the seat either move the balance point to the center or counter the weight until the seat was in balance. If done correctly I don't see where the Scn5 would have any problem.

Hi Hobbs77
shure you can balance a JR.,but they want to fit a SFGT.on top of it
And when the JR.rotate left the SFGT. go,s to far out off balance fore the scn5
:hi:

Am I reading that correctly? Your motors cost less than $400 USD each and outperform the motors in the current Force Dynamics Simulator? Of course the expensive part is the ballscrew, controller and amp. Are there any reasonable priced commercial options. I'm not much interested in soldering up a bunch of boards for a few weeks straight. What di you think of the Pololu product line? The have some reasonably priced amp, and a few then do between 15 and 21 amps continous.

Its true that there are some commercial options, but they are rather expensive!!

In pololu product line there is a nice serial motion controller but its limited to only one motor, 30A and only 16 volt motors max!!!

You can build the DIY AMC1.5 & DSMhb1.2b (2 motors and 24V support) for almost same price... I decided to make these DIY devices since there is no other cheap alternative for our motion sims. And since the motion control section on my DIY devices is separate from the motor driver, you can upgrade it later with stronger modules!! :brows:

They dont show you rpm/torque graf
for my small dc motor its looks like this
edit: now i try do some math for S28-400 and:
if they have peak torque 3720 oz-in and torque const. (Kt) 6.57 oz-in/Amp so peak current is 566 A ! is it possible ? What power source you must have ...
Force Dynamics probably use AC servo motor which are better (and mutch expensive).

No, they use brushless DC motors, near 100v operating I think!!!

From 401 page:
The servo motors are three-phase brushless permanent magnet motors fitted with a spring actuated brake and differential output incremental encoder. The motor drives the screw with a toothed belt.
so its BLDC motor, my mistake. Price for motor and driver would be huge isn it ?

:lol: I think we gone too far off-topic here...!!!! :rofl:


This topic is about realism in combined joyrider + SimXperienceII model... :



PS. Nice washing machines!! :rofl:

Hi Bernard
I look normal @ magmotor.com ,ampflow arent the same i see.
You get cont.stall problems 30amps needed 10mm pitch.
To get 100kg stall force 1.76nm needed pitsch 10mm,0.884nm pitch 5mm
rpm ballscrews are lmited 3000rpm max.5mm pitsch 250mmsec speed
,10mm 500mmsec.
so motor makes 6000rpm 0.884nm needed pitch 10mm
About actuators
round rail 16mm 500mm long, 30mm m8 bore on 2 ends 17,00usd
ballscrew 16x10 580mm long +ballnut+end machining 40mmx10mmg6 on 2 ends 78,00usd
linearmotionbearings2008 on ebay
with a tabledrill working with spacers it's basecly Meccano to make
regards AD

Where you get it for this price ?

Hi
These prices are from nov.2008
I have asked the guy from linearmotionberings2008
You find him on ebay
regards AD

They are class c7 0.05mm backlash
I have also asked a lokal guy to do it
And he makes the 4 guiding shafts with m8 bore on 2 ends ,and ballscrew machining 2x 40mm10mmg6
all togeter fore 45,00 hi lives 30km away from me
Fore pitch 16 look @ <a class=postlink href=http://www.motioncontrolproducts.com target=_blank>www.motioncontrolproducts.com</a>

Here is the correct link :brows:

Hi,guys .do u need brushless dc servo motors?The magnets are permanent magnets.
have 3 three-phase servo motor.and as u know usually the brushless motors are more expensive than brushed ones .
More option,welcome visit:www.torkmotion.cn :yes:
And u can custom it~~ :yippiee:
