Performance and environmental specifications for SimCraft motion simulation technology

Our motion simulation architecture is designed with exceptional versatility, particularly when it comes to range of motion. The specifications listed below represent standard configurations, but they are not limitations. Thanks to our foundational design, extending the range of motion is as simple as incorporating longer actuators into the system, while reducing motion can be just as easily achieved with shorter actuators. We offer a standard spec optimized for a wide range of use cases, as well as officially approved as a NASCAR simulator for use in the NASCAR Cup Series under Section 13.5 (Driver-in-the-Loop) of the NASCAR rule book. Should your application require additional range of motion, we can often accommodate those needs with tailored configurations.
