6DOF Geared Platform

Name: 6DOF Geared Platform
Brand: Active Game
SKU: 6dof-geared

Gear-motor 6DOF platform (pitch, roll, yaw, heave, surge, sway), in-house built, compact footprint for entertainment and OEM integrators.

Six degree-of-freedom motion platform driven by gear-motors instead of linear actuators — pitch, roll, yaw, heave, surge and sway, all six axes in one rig. The gear-motor variant trades raw stroke for a flatter footprint, lower stand-by power and quieter operation, making it the right pick for location-based entertainment, theme-park motion theatres, brand-experience cabins and OEM modules where ceiling clearance or noise budget matter more than peak G. Mechanically the geometry is the same six-axis Stewart-style arrangement we ship on the actuator 6DOF, but each leg is a servo-driven gear-motor with its own encoder and current-controlled drive. The control electronics and the G-Control motion-cueing stack are shared with the rest of the lineup — no third-party licensing, no vendor lock, full source for OEM customers under NDA. What ships with the unit: the platform, our own control electronics and the G-Control cueing software. Mounting interfaces, frame heights and travel envelopes are tuned to the cabin you intend to bolt on top; payload classes run 500 kg, 1,000 kg and 2,000 kg as stock OEM modules, with custom builds available on request. Lead time runs 8 to 14 weeks depending on payload class and finish.

Typical use cases

Location-based entertainment: motion theatres, VR arcades, brand experiences
Theme-park attractions and dark-ride modules
Driving and flight simulators where peak G is secondary to footprint and noise
OEM integration into third-party simulator cabins under private label
R&D and demo rigs where lower stand-by power is preferred
