Load Estimator

The load estimator measures the system’s load distribution. Use it to measure and adjust your center of gravity.

Open the Devices page and select the motion system. Then press Load Estimator under Tools.

Prior to using the load estimator you must prepare. Make sure there is ample space around your rig. You do not want to hurt yourself or anyone else. Get in the rig and try to sit as you would when driving. Now, start the estimation process by pressing Start. Sit still until it is done.

The rig will move up and down during the estimation process. It takes less than a minute. Please wait until the end. And try to not move around too much.

The output values are given in percent. If your total load is 100kg, of which 40kg are on the front actuators and 60kg are on the rear actuators, the result will show this as 40% front and 60% rear.

The ideal load distribution is 50% front and 50% rear. It is difficult to reach this ideal. 40-60% is good enough.

When adjusting your center of gravity you will have to run the load estimator after each change to your rig. Make small changes. Move the chair a couple of centimeters each attempt.
