Application

Exlar FT60 actuators used to power the Sim-Zilla Racing Simulator are unforgettable from the moment passengers step onto a custom-built lift to ride up to the motion platform.
Its unique raised design and smooth, precisely controlled motions combine to give visitors a larger-than-life experience.

The Challenge

Six high performance Exlar actuators controlled by Mannetron’s proprietary Syncon Control System closely track the virtual race car’s motion, enabling Sim-Zilla to utilize its full six degrees of freedom (up/down, forward/back, side/side, yaw, pitch, and roll).

The Solution

Fully mobile, with a quick set-up time and designed for easy breakdown for long distance transport, the Sim-Zilla Simulator is a unique racing experience specifically tailored for live events and trade shows.

Results

Six high performance Exlar actuators controlled by Mannetron’s proprietary Syncon Control System closely track the virtual race car’s motion, enabling Sim-Zilla to utilize its full six degrees of freedom (up/down, forward/back, side/side, yaw, pitch, and roll).
