Q-1: What exactly does 2.5DOF mean?
2.5DOF means you get true pitch and roll motion from the two actuators, plus a simulated heave sensation created by the QS-Pivot. The Pivot combines pitch axis motion to create the perception of vertical movement without requiring additional actuators. It’s not true heave, but your body perceives it very similarly.
Q-2: Should I get QS-210 or QS-220?
QS-220 offers more stroke (100mm vs 60mm). If budget allows, QS-220 provides more dynamic motion with larger tilt angles. QS-210 is excellent value and adequate for most users.
Q-3: Can I upgrade to 3DOF later?
Yes! The 2.5DOF set is designed for upgradability. Add a second pair of QS-210 or QS-220 actuators (matching your existing pair) and a second power cabinet to achieve true 3DOF with independent heave motion.
Q-4: Is QS-MC6 required?
Yes, the QS-MC6 motion controller is required for QS-210 and QS-220 actuators. The controller is included in all 2.5DOF sets.
Q-5: What's the warranty?
We provide 2 years manufacturer warranty for personal use, 1 year for commercial use.
Q-6: Are actuator brackets for aluminum rigs and flat face profile adapters included?
Yes, actuator brackets for aluminum rigs as well as flat face profile adapters are included as part of the standard package.
