Qubic System QS-220 2.5DOF Motion System
The QS-220 2.5DOF motion system is built for drivers and simulation users who want precise, compact and responsive motion feedback without jumping straight into a full 3DOF setup.
Using QS-220 linear actuators, the QS-Pivot module and QS-MC6 motion controller, this system delivers pitch-based motion with added heave sensation for braking, acceleration, kerb strikes, road texture, bumps and weight transfer.
For high-performance builds, a rigid sim rig, responsive direct drive wheelbase and premium sim racing pedals give the motion system a stronger foundation.
Key features
- 2.5DOF motion system with QS-Pivot heave sensation
- 100mm actuator stroke for deeper motion feedback
- 8ms platform latency for rapid telemetry response
- QS-MC6 motion controller included with system package
- Supports future upgrade paths to 3DOF motion
- Compatible with Qubic Manager motion platform software
- Designed for aluminium profile cockpit mounting setups
- 350kg max payload for serious simulation builds
2.5DOF motion feedback for sharper race immersion
The QS-220 2.5DOF motion system gives your cockpit far more physical feedback than a static rig.
The QS-Pivot module works with the QS-220 actuator set to create a 2.5DOF configuration, adding a heave-style motion pattern from the pitch axis.
That means you can feel sharper changes under braking, acceleration, elevation shifts, road surface detail and vehicle weight transfer.
For racers building your rig, it creates a stronger link between what you see on screen and what you feel through the seat, wheel, pedals and chassis.
100mm actuator stroke with lightning-fast 8ms response
This system uses high-performance linear actuators with 100mm of travel, giving the system enough stroke to deliver meaningful cockpit movement without needing a huge footprint.
This makes it well-suited to serious home rigs, showroom simulators and commercial-style training setups.
With a less than 8ms latency, the system is designed to react quickly to telemetry signals, helping motion feel connected to vehicle behaviour.
High-quality direct drive wheelbases and responsive sim racing pedals help complete the setup, giving racers a rig that communicates more detail through every braking zone, kerb and corner exit.
Built for aluminium cockpits and modular upgrades
This motion system includes actuator brackets and flat face profile adapters, making it a strong fit for aluminium profile simulator frames.
This is important because motion hardware needs a rigid base to work properly.
A flex-heavy cockpit can reduce feedback clarity and waste actuator movement.
The QS-220 platform is also modular, giving users a path from 2DOF into 2.5DOF, then up to a full 3DOF motion setup with additional actuators and hardware.
For users exploring Qubic System motion systems, this gives the QS-220 strong long-term upgrade value.
Two mounting options
The system is designed with two mounting bracket assembly options, giving users more flexibility when fitting the actuators to a compatible aluminium profile cockpit.
The first mounting option is suited to a simpler, more direct installation, while the second option gives greater positioning flexibility for rigs that need a more customised actuator layout.
The QS-220 uses dedicated actuator brackets and flat face profile adapters to integrate the actuators into popular aluminium-based cockpits, helping create a stable motion platform for pitch, roll and simulated heave feedback.
Who is the Qubic System QS-220 2.5DOF motion system for?
The Qubic System QS-220 2.5DOF motion system is best for:
- Sim racers upgrading from a static cockpit into motion feedback
- Drivers who want motion without moving straight to full 3DOF
- Aluminium profile cockpit owners with a rigid mounting base
- Users who want braking, acceleration and road surface feedback
- Advanced home simulator builds with premium wheel and pedal hardware
- Commercial or showroom setups needing compact motion performance
- VR users who want compatible motion compensation software support
- Flight simulation users wanting physical feedback in compatible titles
Frequently asked questions
What is the Qubic System QS-220 2.5DOF motion system?
The Qubic System QS-220 2.5DOF motion system is a motion platform package that combines QS-220 actuators with QS-Pivot and the QS-MC6 controller. It adds physical cockpit movement for racing and simulation, including pitch-based motion and heave-style feedback for stronger immersion.
What does 2.5DOF mean on the QS-220?
2.5DOF refers to the QS-Pivot configuration, where the system uses QS-220 actuators and the pivot module to create an added heave-style motion pattern from the pitch axis. This helps simulate load changes, elevation shifts and weight transfer.
Is the QS-220 suitable for sim racing?
Yes. The QS-220 is designed for serious sim racing setups and can simulate vehicle feedback such as braking, acceleration, kerbs, bumps, road texture and weight transfer. It works best with a rigid cockpit, quality wheelbase and responsive pedal set.
Can the QS-220 be upgraded later?
Yes. The QS-220 platform is modular and can be expanded from a 2DOF or 2.5DOF setup into a full 3DOF motion configuration with additional actuators and compatible hardware. This makes it a strong long-term motion platform choice.
Does the QS-220 work with aluminium profile cockpits?
Yes. The QS-220 includes actuator brackets and flat face profile adapters, making it suitable for popular aluminium profile cockpit setups. A rigid cockpit is recommended to maximise motion clarity and reduce unwanted chassis flex.
What software does the QS-220 use?
The QS-220 uses Qubic Manager, Qubic System’s in-house motion software. It supports PC racing and flight titles, allows motion tuning, and includes settings for motion levels, bumps, roll and pitch.
Is the QS-220 VR compatible?
Yes. Qubic Manager supports VR motion compensation, helping reduce the mismatch between physical motion and the VR view. This makes the QS-220 a stronger option for users building a VR-focused sim racing or flight simulation setup.
What is the max payload of the QS-220?
The official QS-220 product details list a maximum payload of 350kg. This makes it suitable for heavier cockpit builds, including premium seats, aluminium rigs, direct drive wheelbases, pedal sets and mounted accessories.
