Rig compatibility

The SIMRIG SR1 motion system can be mounted on many different rigs. We offer of-the-shelf solutions for aluminium extrusions in a variety of sizes. However, other types of rigs might also be compatible.

Contact us to inquire about your rig.

These are things to consider regardless of rig construction:

• The total weight shall not exceed 175 kg (including driver, rig, and all accessories)

• Less weight is better (higher mass means higher inertia)

• The rig must be sturdy enough to handle the forces generated by the motion system

• Maximum width is 620 mm (see picture below)

Figure: Maximum rig width is 620 mm.

Aluminium extrusion based rigs

We offer of-the-shelf solutions for aluminium extrusions of the following size:

• 60x20 mm

• 40x40 mm

• 80x40 mm

Note

Other sizes are available on request. For example 45x45 mm and 160x40 mm.

These are extruded aluminium profiles with either 8 mm slots or 5 mm slots. See the picture below for an example.

Figure: Aluminium extrusions with of-the-shelf support.

The SIMRIG SR1 is attached to these extrusions using two sets of 20x20 mm profiles. The profiles are attached to the rig using angle brackets, T-nuts, and bolts. The profiles are 780 mm long (hence the rig width limitation of 620 mm.)

Figure: Two 20x20 mm aluminium extrusions are attached to the rigs underside. The SIMRIG SR1 is attached to these extrusions.

Figure: The 20x20 mm aluminium extrusions are attached to the rig using angle brackets and M5 T-nuts and bolts (these are M8 bolts in the picture.)

The SIMRIG SR1 is also attached to the rig using plastic supports. The length of which depend on the size of the rig’s aluminium extrusions. One such support is seen in the first picture above.
