Upgrade existing equipment
Assess retaining existing cockpits, seats, controls and displays while adding a motion platform. What can be retained depends on payload and mounting conditions.
STANDARD MOTION PLATFORM
YSL-MP-6DOF-6A-V1
For your simulator,
add six-degree-of-freedom motion.
Standard six-degree-of-freedom electric motion platform
For simulator manufacturers and system integrators: a motion base for flight, driving and marine simulation, also suitable for upgrading static simulators when payload, installation and software integration conditions are met.
This product is a motion platform. Cockpit, controls, displays and simulation software integration and supply must be confirmed separately.

01 / FROM STATIC TO DYNAMIC
Keep your simulation system,
assess adding motion.
Customers with existing cockpits, displays and controls can check mechanical and software compatibility before defining a motion upgrade.
Reduce base development work
Use an existing platform design and its parameters as the starting point, focusing more development work on simulation content, control systems and integration.
Expand motion configurations
Plan static and motion versions of a simulator family or assess upgrades for existing customers. Shared structures and controls are confirmed per project.
Flight simulation
Motion cues for flight attitude changes, take-off and landing.
Driving simulation
Motion feedback for acceleration, braking, steering and road changes.
Marine simulation
Heave, roll and pitch cues representing changing sea conditions.
These are application directions, not a promise of included simulation software or completed integration with every system. Results depend on simulation data, motion algorithms, available travel and commissioning.
02 / SIX DEGREES OF FREEDOM
Six coordinated actuators,
a foundation for spatial motion.
Coordinated extension and retraction of six electric actuators changes deck position and attitude. Each direction is produced by the mechanism as a whole; one actuator does not correspond to just one degree of freedom.
Heave
Vertical translation
Surge
Forward / backward translation
Sway
Left / right translation
Pitch
Forward / backward tilt
Roll
Side-to-side tilt
Yaw
Heading rotation
Single-axis limits cannot necessarily be reached simultaneously in combined poses. Confirm the available envelope for the payload, centre of gravity and control limits.
03 / ACTUAL EQUIPMENT
See the equipment,
then discuss your integration.
Close-up footage shows the structure; the multi-platform video demonstrates hand-controller operation with multiple axes and varying speeds. These demonstrations are not rated-load performance tests.

04 / SPECIFICATIONS
Check the load and space first,
then select the motion range.
The platform load is 300 kg: the total weight placed on it. The amplitudes and speeds below are loaded maxima for each direction moving independently. Centre of gravity and off-centre loading are assessed against the customer’s load configuration.
Six-axis motion parameters
| Motion | Range | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Heave | ±70 mm | 250 mm/s |
| Longitudinal translation | ±100 mm | 250 mm/s |
| Lateral translation | ±100 mm | 250 mm/s |
| Pitch | ±12° | 25°/s |
| Roll | ±12° | 25°/s |
| Yaw | ±12° | 25°/s |
The total load includes the customer’s cockpit, seats, occupants, equipment and mounting accessories. Loaded maximum amplitudes and speeds in individual directions cannot necessarily be achieved simultaneously in combined motion. Load conditions and the combined workspace are confirmed for each project.
05 / INTEGRATION
Confirm these three points before upgrading.
Fit and load capacity
We supply a complete six-DOF platform with an upper mounting deck. A plated deck or open frame can be supplied with provision for mounting holes. Upper mounting-hole details are provided after contact; cockpit dimensions, fixing points and load conditions define the mechanical interface.
What data can your simulator provide?
A network cable connects the platform to the host. Customer software outputs real-time pose and time data. We provide motion-control algorithms, interface documentation and example calls. Protocol, data format, time definition, coordinate conventions and transmission rate are confirmed during integration.
Coordinate visuals and motion
Agree motion-cue objectives, limits and commissioning scope for the payload and application, then arrange system integration and acceptance.
Customer software: real-time pose and time→Algorithms, interfaces and example calls→Platform control system→Six-DOF motion
Connect the host by network cable and integrate using the supplied algorithms, interface documentation and examples. Control prioritises real-time pose response; requested angles or displacement outside the available range are limited to executable values.
INSTALLATION & PROTECTION
Confirm the fixing method,
understand limits and stop protection.
Base fixing and levelling
The base can be secured with expansion anchors. For a small, low cockpit without significant centre-of-gravity offset, assessed load and installation conditions may allow support on levelling casters without anchors. Adjust their support feet fully to prevent base movement during operation. Confirm the fixing method against the customer’s load configuration.
Control-cabinet emergency stop
An emergency-stop button on the control cabinet stops platform motion in an emergency.
Algorithmic motion limits
Host angle and displacement commands are range-limited. Commands beyond the executable range are clamped, with priority given to real-time pose response within the available workspace.
Overload and fault stop
On overload or a platform fault, an audible alarm sounds and motion stops.
Power-loss descent
On sudden power loss, the platform slowly descends to its lowest position.
06 / SUPPLY & DOCUMENTATION
Confirm the supply scope
and integration work together.
Standard supply is one complete six-DOF platform, including control hardware, commissioning software and control-interface documentation. Mechanical mounting and software integration with the customer’s cockpit require coordination.
Mechanical and electrical equipment
One complete six-DOF platform, including the mechanical structure, six electric actuators, controller, drives, control cabinet, cables, emergency stop and commissioning software.
Algorithms and interface support
Motion-control algorithms, interface documentation and example calls are supplied for customer integration using real-time pose and time data.
Cockpit and simulation equipment
The customer provides cockpit mounting requirements. The mounting surface may be plated or an open frame with prepared fixing holes. The cockpit, displays and operator controls are not part of the platform’s standard supply.
Mounting surface matched to the customer’s cockpit
Choose a plated deck or open frame, with fixing holes prepared to an agreed mounting drawing. Upper mounting-hole details are supplied after contact. Provide cockpit dimensions, fixing points, total weight above the platform and centre-of-gravity information to assess installation against the 300 kg load and customer load configuration.
