Qubic System QS-220 5DOF Motion System

Qubic System QS-220 5DOF Motion System The Qubic System QS-220 5DOF motion system is built for serious sim racers who want complete cockpit motion across heave, pitch, roll, surge and yaw. This Stage 4 kit combines four QS-220 linear actuators with the QS-CH2 motion platform and QS-MC6 motion controller, creating a premium motion setup for racing simulation, vehicle training and advanced home rigs. With 100mm actuator stroke, fast response and traction-loss movement from the surge/yaw platform, it is a high-end upgrade for those sim racers wanting a complete motion simulator package. Key features 5DOF motion system with heave, pitch, roll Surge and yaw feedback from QS-CH2 platform Four QS-220 actuators with 100mm stroke Less than 8ms actuator platform latency 800mm/s maximum velocity for responsive motion 0–100Hz vibration feedback for surface detail QS-MC6 controller with Qubic Manager software Designed for compatible aluminium extrusion cockpits 5DOF motion for deeper vehicle feedback The QS-220 5DOF motion system gives your cockpit movement across five key axes: heave, pitch, roll, surge and yaw. The four QS-220 actuators handle vertical, pitch and roll effects, while the QS-CH2 platform adds forward/backward surge and yaw-based traction loss. This helps simulate braking load, acceleration force, kerb impact, road texture, chassis movement, oversteer and rear-end rotation. For racers already using a premium direct drive wheelbase, this system gives the rest of the rig a physical feedback layer that matches the precision of high-end steering hardware. QS-CH2 surge and yaw platform for traction loss The QS-CH2 motion platform is the key difference between a 3DOF setup and this 5DOF system. Mounted underneath the cockpit, it adds surge and yaw movement to help replicate braking, acceleration and traction loss. In practical racing terms, this means the simulator can physically shift during heavy braking, communicate rear-end rotation and create clearer feedback when grip starts to disappear. This makes the QS-220 5DOF system especially well-suited to rally, drift, GT and F1-style simulation. A strong set of sim racing pedals gives your rig a more connected feel, helping every brake press and throttle input translate with greater precision. Four QS-220 actuators with rapid response The QS-220 actuator platform is designed for speed, control and repeatable motion detail. With 100mm of stroke, up to 800mm/s maximum velocity, 0.8G maximum acceleration and less than 8ms platform latency, the system can deliver sharp motion cues without feeling delayed or disconnected. The 0–100Hz vibration frequency range also helps communicate smaller effects such as engine vibration, road surface detail and kerb texture. For users comparing Qubic System motion systems, the QS-220 5DOF kit sits as a serious option for high-end racing and mixed-use simulation rooms. Built for aluminium cockpit integration A motion system this powerful needs a strong cockpit foundation. The QS-220 5DOF motion system is designed to bolt onto compatible aluminium extrusion cockpits, giving the actuators and QS-CH2 platform a rigid base to work from. This matters because cockpit flex can soften the feedback and reduce motion clarity. The kit is best matched with a strong aluminium profile rig, fixed racing seat, direct drive wheelbase and load cell or hydraulic pedals. It can also suit high-end flight simulator cockpits where compatible software and motion tuning support the intended setup. Who is the Qubic System QS-220 5DOF motion system for? The Qubic System QS-220 5DOF motion system is best for: Serious sim racers building a premium motion cockpit Drivers wanting heave, pitch, roll, surge and yaw GT, rally, drift and F1 simulation users Aluminium extrusion cockpit owners with rigid frames Competitive drivers wanting clearer traction loss feedback VR users building an immersive motion simulation setup Commercial racing centres and premium simulator rooms Users upgrading beyond 2DOF, 2.5DOF or 3DOF motion Frequently asked questions What is the Qubic System QS-220 5DOF motion system? The Qubic System QS-220 5DOF motion system is a premium motion kit that combines four QS-220 actuators with the QS-CH2 surge/yaw platform and QS-MC6 motion controller. It creates cockpit motion across heave, pitch, roll, surge and yaw. What does 5DOF mean on the QS-220 system? 5DOF means five degrees of freedom. In this setup, the QS-220 actuators provide heave, pitch and roll movement, while the QS-CH2 platform adds surge and yaw. This helps simulate vehicle load, braking, acceleration and traction loss. What is included in the QS-220 Stage 4 Kit? The QS-220 Stage 4 5DOF kit includes 2x QS-220 actuator pairs, giving four actuators total, plus the QS-MC6 motion controller and QS-CH2 motion platform. Actuator brackets are also listed with the actuator pairs. Does the QS-220 5DOF system simulate traction loss? Yes. The QS-CH2 platform adds yaw movement, which helps simulate traction loss, oversteer and rear-end rotation. This makes the system a strong fit for rally, drift, GT and F1-style racing simulation. Can the QS-220 5DOF system simulate braking and acceleration? Yes. The QS-CH2 platform adds surge movement, which creates forward and backward motion cues. This helps replicate braking pressure, acceleration force and weight transfer through the cockpit. Is the QS-220 5DOF motion system suitable for aluminium cockpits? Yes. The kit is designed to bolt onto most compatible aluminium extrusion cockpits. A rigid aluminium frame is recommended because motion systems need a strong foundation to keep feedback sharp and consistent. What software controls the QS-220 5DOF motion system? The system is controlled through Qubic Manager software. This allows the motion platform and actuators to be configured and tuned from one software environment for compatible racing and simulation titles. Is this motion system suited to beginner sim racers? This system is best suited to advanced users, high-end home simulator builds and commercial racing setups. Beginners may prefer a static cockpit, 2DOF motion system or 3DOF setup before moving into a full 5DOF platform.
