Qubic System – Professional Motion Platforms for Racing and Flight Simulation
Qubic System is a Polish manufacturer of advanced motion platforms for racing and flight simulators, developed by Motion Systems. Its technology adds physical movement to the simulation experience, allowing drivers and pilots to feel acceleration, braking, vehicle body movement, road surface details and other effects that cannot be reproduced by visuals and steering wheel Force Feedback alone.
The Qubic System range at Simline.eu includes compact seat movers, modular linear actuator systems, complete 4DOF and 6DOF motion platforms, belt tensioners and dedicated mounting and safety accessories.
Qubic System hardware is designed and manufactured in Poland and the European Union. The brand draws on Motion Systems' experience in industrial automation, precision mechanics and advanced motion control technology.
Its products are suitable for demanding home racing cockpits, professional driver training simulators, flight simulation installations and commercial simulation centres.
How Do Motion Platforms Work? Understanding 2DOF, 3DOF and 6DOF
A motion platform is an electromechanical system that uses simulator telemetry to physically move a racing seat or complete cockpit. It adds another layer of feedback to the simulation, allowing the user to experience selected vehicle forces and movements through their body.
DOF stands for Degrees of Freedom, describing the number of independent motion axes available in a particular system.
The most common axes include pitch, which describes forward and backward tilting, roll, which represents side-to-side tilting, and heave, which refers to vertical movement.
More advanced systems can also reproduce surge, or longitudinal movement associated with acceleration and braking, sway, or lateral displacement, and yaw, which represents rotation around the vertical axis.
Yaw movement is particularly useful in racing simulators for reproducing oversteer, rear-wheel slip and traction loss.
A compact 2DOF system can already provide substantial additional immersion, while a full 6DOF platform offers more flexibility in reproducing complex vehicle movement. The right configuration depends on available space, budget, cockpit construction and the type of simulation being used.
Qubic System QS-H13 – Compact 2DOF Seat Mover
The Qubic System QS-H13 is a compact motion system designed to move the driver's or pilot's seat rather than the entire cockpit.
This makes it a practical option for users who want to add motion feedback to an existing racing or flight simulator without rebuilding the complete rig.
QS-H13 operates in two axes, roll and pitch, allowing the seat to tilt from side to side and forward or backward. These movements can communicate braking, acceleration, body roll, road irregularities and changes in vehicle direction.
In addition to physical seat movement, the system provides vibration effects across a frequency range of 0–100 Hz. This allows the motion feedback to be combined with engine vibration, gear changes, kerb strikes and other supported tactile effects.
The manufacturer specifies approximately 10 ms of telemetry response latency, helping to keep physical feedback synchronised with events in the simulator.
Universal aluminium-cockpit adapters and mounting brackets for the optional QS-BT1 belt tensioner are included, making QS-H13 an interesting starting point for a compact motion setup.
Qubic System QS-210 – Modular 60 mm Motion Actuators
For drivers who prefer to move the complete cockpit, the Qubic System QS-210 provides a modular actuator-based solution.
The system uses industrial-grade linear actuators with 60 mm of travel. Different packages allow users to build a 2DOF setup, a 2.5DOF Pivot configuration or a complete 3DOF motion system.
Upgrade packages are also available, allowing the platform to be expanded without replacing the complete motion system.
QS-210 supports up to 250 kg of moving load, making it suitable for many racing cockpits equipped with Direct Drive wheelbases and Load Cell pedals.
Its relatively compact actuator design is particularly useful in rooms where available space is limited but the user still wants to experience physical cockpit movement.
Depending on the selected configuration and telemetry support, the system can reproduce suspension activity, vehicle body movement, braking, acceleration and road surface effects.
Qubic System QS-220 – Increased Travel and Advanced Motion Feedback
The Qubic System QS-220 is designed for drivers who want greater actuator travel and more pronounced cockpit movement.
Compared with the QS-210, it uses linear actuators with 100 mm of travel, providing a larger physical movement range.
The modular product family includes the INTRO SET for a basic 2DOF configuration, an UPGRADE SET for expanding an existing system and the complete EXTENDED SET, which uses four actuators in a 3DOF configuration.
Depending on the operating mode, QS-220 can reach speeds of up to 800 mm/s and acceleration of up to 0.8 G. Selected configurations support up to 350 kg of moving load.
The QS-MC6 motion controller manages communication between the system and the computer and is also available as a separate product variant.
With its increased movement capability, QS-220 is well suited to advanced racing simulators and serves as a foundation for larger multi-axis motion configurations.
Qubic System QS-CH2 – Surge, Yaw and Traction Loss Simulation
Traditional actuator platforms can reproduce vertical motion and cockpit tilting, but additional hardware is required to recreate certain longitudinal and rotational effects.
The Qubic System QS-CH2 is a 2DOF motion platform specifically designed to reproduce surge and yaw.
Surge movement communicates acceleration and braking, while yaw rotation helps represent oversteer, drifting and loss of rear-wheel traction.
The platform offers ±50 mm of surge travel and ±7.2 degrees of yaw rotation, providing an additional physical feedback channel for racing and driving simulation.
QS-CH2 can operate independently when equipped with a QS-MC6 controller or serve as an upgrade to a compatible system that already includes the controller.
When combined with QS-210 or QS-220 hardware, QS-CH2 can create an extended 5DOF motion configuration.
It is particularly useful for rally drivers, drifting enthusiasts and sim racers interested in more accurately experiencing the behaviour of a car during acceleration, braking and traction loss.
Qubic System QS-V20 – Complete 4DOF Motion Cockpit
For users who prefer an integrated motion platform rather than building one from separate actuators, the Qubic System QS-V20 provides a complete 4DOF cockpit solution.
The system operates across four motion axes: heave, roll, pitch and yaw.
Four QS-220 actuators provide 100 mm of travel, with motion speeds of up to 0.9 m/s. The platform also supports 0–100 Hz vibration effects, combining larger physical movements with more detailed tactile feedback.
The package includes the motion frame, controller, wiring, adjustable steering wheel, seat and pedal mounts, an entry step and a mounting bracket for the optional QS-BT1 belt tensioner.
QS-V20 is designed for demanding sim racing and flight simulation users who want a complete motion foundation without developing a custom platform structure from scratch.
Qubic System QS-S25 Spider – Modular 6DOF Motion Platform
The Qubic System QS-S25 Spider is a modular motion platform offering six degrees of freedom.
Using six actuators, the system can move the cockpit across surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw axes. This provides substantially greater flexibility for reproducing complex vehicle and aircraft movements.
QS-S25 supports up to 250 kg of payload and provides vibration feedback across the 0–100 Hz frequency range.
Different product variants are available, including the six-actuator motion system, a separate cockpit set and a triple-monitor mounting structure designed for three 32-inch VESA 100 × 100 displays.
With its full 6DOF capability, QS-S25 is suitable for professional driver training, advanced home simulators and demanding flight simulation applications.
Before purchasing, check the exact selected variant and package contents, as the standalone motion platform does not necessarily include every component required for a complete simulator cockpit.
Qubic System QS-S35 – Long-Travel 6DOF Motion Platform
At the upper end of the range is the Qubic System QS-S35, a long-travel 6DOF motion platform developed for advanced home installations, professional simulators and commercial training environments.
The system provides more than 342 mm of movement along the heave axis and supports up to 250 kg of payload in its standard configuration.
Its greater movement range makes it possible to reproduce more pronounced motion cues than compact systems with shorter actuator travel.
The QS-S35 includes an extensive frame with mounting solutions for steering controls, pedals, the racing seat and the optional QS-BT1 belt tensioner. A triple-monitor structure for displays up to 32 inches is also included.
Due to its size, movement range and installation requirements, QS-S35 is particularly suitable for professional simulation centres, commercial installations and training applications where realistic motion feedback is a priority.
Qubic System QS-BT1 – Direct Drive Belt Tensioner
Physical feedback does not have to come exclusively from cockpit movement. A belt tensioner adds forces directly to the driver's body by dynamically changing harness tension.
The Qubic System QS-BT1 is a dual-channel Direct Drive belt tensioner designed for racing and flight simulation.
Each channel can generate up to 200 N of force, allowing the system to reproduce physical cues related to braking, acceleration, cornering, gear changes and traction loss.
QS-BT1 can be installed on a compatible fixed racing cockpit or combined with an existing motion platform. It does not require a moving simulator to operate.
This makes the device a practical upgrade for users who want to add physical body feedback without immediately investing in a complete multi-axis motion system.
Correct installation requires a suitable mounting solution, compatible harness and appropriate configuration according to the manufacturer's instructions.
QS-BT1 Mounting Brackets and MOTION-LOCK Safety Accessories
Motion simulator installations require suitable mounting hardware and safety controls, particularly when several powered actuators or accessories operate together.
The Qubic System Mount for QS-BT1 provides dedicated mounting solutions for selected cockpits and motion platforms.
Four configurations are available for QS-CH1, QS-V20, QS-S25 and Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3. Each version includes different brackets and mounting components, so the selected variant must match the user's existing hardware.
The Qubic System MOTION-LOCK Switch provides an additional safety control for compatible motion systems.
This wired, dual-state switch allows the user to stop connected compatible motion hardware immediately. Its dual-channel design also monitors the wiring, while support for connecting multiple switches makes it suitable for more complex installations.
Safety controls should be placed within easy reach of the driver or pilot, and installation must follow the manufacturer's requirements for clearance, mounting stability and emergency stopping.
Qubic Manager – Motion Platform Configuration Software
Qubic Manager is the software platform connecting supported simulators with Qubic System hardware.
It receives game telemetry and converts it into motion commands for compatible actuators, seat movers, motion platforms and belt tensioners.
Users can configure motion intensity, individual axes, signal filters, vibration feedback and dedicated profiles for different vehicles and simulators.
This means that the same motion platform can be adjusted for GT3 racing, Formula cars, rally driving or flight simulation, with different movement characteristics for each application.
Qubic Manager also includes features for virtual reality users. VR HeadWay motion compensation helps prevent physical cockpit movement from causing unwanted changes to the virtual viewpoint when using a VR headset.
The exact effects available depend on simulator telemetry, device compatibility and the selected motion configuration.
Qubic System for Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane and DCS World
Qubic System motion platforms are not limited to racing simulation. They can also be used with supported flight simulators, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane and DCS World, depending on the hardware and available telemetry.
In flight simulation, motion feedback can communicate aircraft pitch, roll, changes in G-forces, landing gear contact, turbulence and engine or rotor vibration.
The QS-H13 seat mover can be a compact addition to a home flight simulator with a central joystick or yoke, while 3DOF, 4DOF and 6DOF systems offer greater freedom when reproducing movement of the complete cockpit.
For aviation installations, it is important to consider the mounting and clearance requirements of joysticks, throttle quadrants, rudder pedals and additional flight controls. These devices must remain securely installed throughout the platform's full movement range.
Compatibility with a specific aircraft, simulator and telemetry feature should be verified before building the complete motion system.
Which Qubic System Motion Platform Should You Choose?
If you are entering the world of motion simulation, the QS-H13 provides a relatively compact way to add physical seat movement to an existing racing or flight cockpit.
The QS-210 is a suitable starting point for drivers who want to move the complete cockpit while keeping actuator travel and overall dimensions relatively compact.
QS-220 provides greater actuator travel and more pronounced motion feedback, while QS-CH2 can expand a compatible configuration with surge and yaw movement for acceleration, braking and traction loss.
For users looking for a complete integrated solution, QS-V20 offers a dedicated 4DOF motion cockpit. QS-S25 Spider and QS-S35 are intended for advanced 6DOF installations requiring more movement axes, higher complexity and dedicated installation space.
The system can be further upgraded with a QS-BT1 belt tensioner and appropriate mounting and safety accessories.
