•   Wheel slip
•   Suspension resonance

The 150Hz output exceeds the 100Hz capability commonly found on many competing systems, enabling more detailed tactile feedback and helping drivers recognise subtle changes in grip and track conditions.

Combined with the long-stroke actuators, this creates a highly immersive experience that feels both dynamic and incredibly refined.

Ultra-Fast 8ms Response Time

Motion is only realistic when it happens instantly.

The MOZA HMA150 achieves an impressive 8-millisecond response time, ensuring physical movement remains closely synchronised with the action unfolding on screen.

Whether turning into a fast corner, clipping a kerb or catching a slide, the system reacts almost immediately, helping preserve immersion while providing highly accurate physical feedback.

The rapid transient response also allows the platform to reproduce quick direction changes with exceptional precision, making it particularly effective in modern Formula, GT and rally simulations.

Four-Axis, Three-Degree-of-Freedom Motion

The standard MOZA HMA150 configuration utilises a four-actuator, three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) architecture.

This enables realistic simulation of:

•   Pitch
•   Roll
•   Heave

Together, these movements recreate the chassis dynamics experienced during acceleration, braking, cornering and changes in road elevation.

The platform has also been designed with future expansion in mind, supporting upgrades towards 6-axis and 7-axis configurations, allowing users to build increasingly advanced motion simulators as the MOZA ecosystem continues to evolve.

Safe and Efficient 48V Power System

This low-voltage architecture offers several advantages:

•   Improved operational safety
•   Lower power consumption
•   Quieter operation
•   Greater efficiency
•   Enhanced reliability
•   Better suitability for home environments

The result is a powerful motion platform capable of professional performance without the complexity often associated with industrial automation equipment.

21-Bit Magnetic Encoder Precision

Every actuator within the HMA150 incorporates a 21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder, providing approximately 2.09 million counts per revolution.

This extremely high positional accuracy allows the motion platform to reproduce both large chassis movements and the smallest tactile details with remarkable precision.

The encoder continuously monitors actuator position, ensuring every movement is executed accurately and consistently while maintaining exceptionally smooth operation.

The result is motion that feels natural, predictable and highly responsive throughout every racing session.

600MHz High-Performance Motion Controller

Managing thousands of motion calculations every second requires substantial processing power.

MOZA Motion Manager Software

The HMA150 is controlled using the all-new MOZA Motion Manager, a professional-grade software suite designed specifically for motion simulation.

Unlike generic motion software, Motion Manager has been developed alongside the hardware, allowing complete control over every aspect of platform behaviour.

Users can adjust:

•   Motion intensity

Different motion profiles can be created for individual racing titles, allowing instant switching between Formula, GT, rally and trucking simulations.

The intuitive interface also makes it easy for beginners to start with recommended presets before gradually fine-tuning every parameter.

AI Motion Technology

One of the HMA150’s most innovative features is MOZA AI Motion.

Traditional motion platforms rely solely on telemetry data supplied by racing games. If a game doesn’t output telemetry, motion feedback is often unavailable. AI Motion changes this.

Using advanced AI models, Motion Manager analyses both game visuals and audio in real time to recognise what’s happening on screen.

Instead of reading telemetry alone, the software identifies events such as:

•   Vehicle acceleration
•   Braking
•   Cornering
•   Suspension impacts
•   Explosions
•   Character movement
•   Weapon recoil
•   Environmental effects
•   Off-road driving
•   Surface changes

The system then automatically generates realistic motion and vibration effects, even in games that have never been designed to support motion simulators.

AI Motion Effect Library

Rather than producing generic vibration, MOZA has created an extensive library of motion effects linked to specific gameplay events.

Different scenarios generate unique combinations of:

•   Platform movement
•   High-frequency vibration
•   Chassis motion
•   G-force simulation
•   Surface detail

This means shooting feels different to driving, kerbs feel different to potholes, and heavy landings feel different to engine vibration.

The result is significantly more immersive and believable motion feedback across a far wider range of games.

Telemetry Meets Artificial Intelligence

MOZA AI Motion is not intended to replace telemetry. Instead, it works alongside it.

When telemetry is available, Motion Manager uses official game data for maximum accuracy. When telemetry is unavailable or incomplete, AI Motion intelligently fills the gaps using visual and audio recognition.

This hybrid approach allows the HMA150 to support considerably more games than traditional motion systems while maintaining accurate motion reproduction whenever native telemetry is available.
