joyride Atom

[ferslash]

Hi guys:

Just to give imput and inspiration for sim creators loocking for a nice pic... here you have the Joyride (bad name, i mean it like taken joyrider name and use it with no permision, i guess)

the desing seams to be a kind of "flex" and "sato" crossover, it looks nice and preaty (i mean not watching a lot of loss wires around is nice)




and here the video



and of course the best is the price, as low as 4,390 euros... (in mexico it is too much, maybe in other countries is a barn), and by the way, if you want to use it for commercial purposes, you have to pay a little 1,000 euros extra. (i wonder why, i mean if you buy it, its yours )

what does our experts says about its force transmition desing???

it seams that force is transmited from the side of the seat?

is this sistema better than the "flex" sistem?

can it be achieved by wiper motors?

best regards from mexico

Thanks to Roadster2 for telling me about this sim

Ok, this is a curly one.
As far as I know joyrides use 24v stepper motor actuators - expensive.
I have attempted similar designs in the past with big worm gear motors with good success, they moved 110kg, but a balance point would have allowed more

So , yes its possible, but I suggest grunty motors.

Impressive motiondave:-D, its design was very good, congratulations!

From a technical documentation JoyRide Atomic A2

• Dual high-speed, high-precision 400mm/s (100N) actuators with maintenance-free brushless stepper motors
• Patented load-compensating ForceAssistTMtechnology maximises performance while minimising actuator power
requirement
• RealFeelTMclosed-loop hardware controller ensures jitter-free movement to impart organic motion

This characteristic actuator SCN5 ...It may? As such actuators can move 120kg?

THey dont use scn5 on this. They use 24v stepper motor actuators. SCN5-6 move about 5-10kg, hence the best place for them is the shoulders at the back and a seat mover.
Also as it has a balance point, they are not lifting 120kg directly. The balance point is where the weight is sitting , so it just moves the extra weight, maybe 20-30kg.
Its a 2 dof sim and doesnt go up and down like the picture says.
