Entertainment Motion Base—High Frequency Motion Response Solution

This is an example of the design and manufacturing flexibility that E•DRIVE can apply to a precision motion replication project. An entertainment motion base required only a modest force, in this case 300 pounds, but a very high frequency motion response was necessary in order to re-create the realistic sensation of a snowmobile operating under a wide variety of conditions. Also, because it's a commercial motion base they were substantial cost constraints. In order to address the cost issue without compromising longevity or functionality, E•DRIVE designed a one piece cast aluminum construction. By reducing the number of components, we minimized the manufacturing cost and achieved the desired precision motion replication operating characteristics.

Flight Simulators and Submarine Simulators for Training

Periodically E•DRIVE has been called upon to provide heavy duty precision linear actuator/electric cylinders for full scale training simulators used for submarines and large aircraft. These are massive simulators and must be capable of substantial physical accelerations in order to replicate realistic motions.

With over 25 years of design and dedication to quality products, E•DRIVE can help you find solutions to improve your operations and minimize your costs. For more information on a heavy duty precision linear actuator or products, contact us today at 1.800.878.1157
