Motion Systems for Sim Racing - SIMRIG 3-DOF Platforms

A motion system translates what happens in the game - braking, cornering, kerb strikes and acceleration - into physical movement of your rig. Where a static setup gives you force feedback through the wheel, a 3-DOF motion platform moves the entire seat and frame with pitch, roll and heave motion. This collection covers three SIMRIG motion systems designed to fit standard aluminium extrusion rigs, with load capacities from standard setups up to 250kg for the heaviest professional configurations.

What Is a 3-DOF Sim Racing Motion System?

DOF stands for degrees of freedom - the number of independent axes of movement a platform can produce. A 3-DOF system moves in three directions: pitch (nose up and down), roll (side to side tilt) and heave (vertical bounce). Each movement corresponds to a real driving input. Braking pitches the rig forward. Cornering rolls it to the outside. Road texture and kerbs produce heave. The result is that your body receives physical cues that match what your eyes see on screen, which improves both immersion and the accuracy of your driving inputs.

All three SIMRIG systems in this collection achieve 3-DOF motion using linear actuators controlled by a compact ECU (electronic control unit). The actuators bolt onto your existing rig frame. The ECU reads telemetry data from the sim software and drives the actuators in real time. Installation is plug-and-play for all three models across common aluminium extrusion profiles.

What to Know Before Choosing a Motion System

What it means for you	Why it matters
Your rig weight determines which model fits	Add up the driver, seat, frame, wheelbase and pedals combined. SR1 suits standard setups. SR2 handles up to 225kg. SR3 covers up to 250kg for the heaviest professional rigs.
3-DOF means pitch, roll and heave	Pitch tilts the rig nose-up under acceleration and nose-down under braking. Roll leans it into corners. Heave bounces it over kerbs and road texture. All three run simultaneously.
Installation is plug-and-play on standard profiles	SR1 fits 40x40, 60x20 and 80x40mm aluminium extrusion rigs. All three models use a compact ECU that connects to your existing rig without custom fabrication or tools.
Payment plans are available for high-value orders	All three systems are priced from €4,016 upward. Apex300 offers payment plans for larger purchases. VAT is included in all prices with no extra charges at checkout.

How to Choose the Right Motion System for Your Sim Rig

The right model depends on your rig weight, peripheral count and how much load your frame will carry when occupied.

SR1 - entry-level 3-DOF: The SR1 starts at €4,016 and suits most aluminium extrusion rigs in 40x40, 60x20 and 80x40mm profiles. It runs a 500W fanless power supply for silent operation and uses four quiet linear actuators. Built in Sweden. This is the correct starting point for drivers adding motion to an existing static rig for the first time.

SR2 - mid-range with higher capacity: The SR2 starts at €4,644 and adds industrial-grade motors with a 750W power supply. Its 225kg load capacity covers heavier rigs, larger drivers and setups with multiple peripherals including direct drive bases, load cell pedals and full harness seats. The compact ECU keeps installation tidy.

SR3 Flagship - professional grade: The SR3 starts at €5,208 and is SIMRIG's top-specification platform, developed over five years with input from the racing community. Its 1,000W power supply and 250kg load capacity support the heaviest professional configurations - large aluminium rigs with full Simagic or Simucube direct drive setups and professional racing seats.

If you are running a Simagic Motion Systems direct drive wheelbase on your rig, the SR2 and SR3 are both confirmed compatible - the total rig weight including a direct drive base, load cell pedals, seat and driver typically falls between 120kg and 200kg depending on configuration.

FAQs

Q1. What is a motion systems controller for sim racing?

A sim racing motion system is a platform that physically moves your rig in response to in-game events - braking, cornering and road surface - using linear actuators controlled by an ECU. It adds pitch, roll and heave motion to a static rig.

Q2. How do I choose the right motion system for my sim racing rig?

The main factor is total rig weight - driver, seat, frame and peripherals combined. The SR1 suits standard setups. The SR2 handles up to 225kg. The SR3 covers up to 250kg for the heaviest professional configurations. Check your rig profile compatibility before ordering.

Q3. How do motion controllers work in a sim racing setup?

Linear actuators bolt onto your rig frame and connect to a compact ECU. The ECU reads telemetry from your sim software in real time and drives the actuators to produce pitch, roll and heave movement that matches the on-screen driving inputs.

Q4. What is the best motion system for sim racing?

For most sim racers adding motion for the first time, the SIMRIG SR1 at €4,016 is the right starting point. The SR2 at €4,644 suits heavier rigs with industrial motors and 225kg capacity. The SR3 Flagship at €5,208 is for professional-grade setups up to 250kg.

Q5. Can a motion system support a heavy sim racing rig?

Yes. The SIMRIG SR2 supports up to 225kg and the SR3 supports up to 250kg. This covers rigs with direct drive wheelbases, load cell pedals, heavy aluminium frames and professional racing seats. Check the total combined weight of your rig before selecting a model.
