Qubic System MOTION-LOCK Switch

Qubic System MOTION-LOCK Switch (QS-SBML-1) – Professional Emergency Stop for Motion Platforms

The Qubic System MOTION-LOCK Switch (QS-SBML-1) is a professional emergency stop and safety control switch designed for use with the Qubic System MOTION-LOCK Sub-System. When activated, it instantly halts the operation of all connected devices, delivering immediate, reliable control in safety-critical situations.

Supplied as standard equipment with all Qubic System motion platforms, the MOTION-LOCK Switch is also available as an optional accessory for users who require additional or independent control over their simulator hardware.

Advanced Safety Control – More Than a Button

Unlike conventional emergency stop switches, the MOTION-LOCK Switch is a dual-state, fail-safe control engineered for high-performance motion simulation environments. It is easy to press in an emergency yet designed to prevent accidental release.

Built with professional-grade components compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 and VDE 0660, it ensures long-term durability, reliability, and consistent operation. The switch is the only user-facing component of the MOTION-LOCK Sub-System, keeping safety interaction simple and intuitive.

The MOTION-LOCK Sub-System itself is an advanced dual-channel safety module, combining hardware and software monitoring. In addition to stopping motion on demand, it continuously checks wiring integrity and detects:

• Disconnected cables
• Damaged wiring
• Incorrect connections

Any fault is immediately identified and reported, ensuring maximum operational safety.

Scalable Control for Complex Simulator Setups

The MOTION-LOCK Sub-System supports multiple device configurations, making it ideal for advanced sim racing and professional simulator installations.

• Single-chain control:
  Multiple compatible devices can be linked together and controlled by a single MOTION-LOCK Switch using an uplink / downlink architecture, allowing virtually unlimited expansion without compromising performance.

• Independent circuits:
  Separate MOTION-LOCK circuits can be configured so that the motion platform, QS-DD-20, and QS-BT1 can be stopped independently—perfect for users who want precise control over which components are active during each session.

Key Features & Benefits

• Professional Safety Standards
  Complies with IEC 60947-5-1 and VDE 0660 for industrial-grade reliability.

• Fail-Safe Dual Contacts
  Two independent electrical contacts ensure instant shutdown even if one contact fails. Any failure is detected and reported by the MOTION-LOCK Sub-System.

• Instant Emergency Response
  Immediate reaction when pressed, essential for high-speed motion platforms and safety-critical scenarios.

• Integrated Status LED

  • Flashing LED: device in motion
  • Solid LED: device stopped
    Provides clear visual confirmation of system status.

• Full Qubic System Compatibility
  Seamlessly integrates with all Qubic System devices equipped with the MOTION-LOCK Sub-System.

• Individually Tested Before Shipping
  Each MOTION-LOCK Switch is manually tested to ensure full functionality and reliability out of the box.

Compatibility & Included Equipment

¹ QS-BT1 can operate without a MOTION-LOCK Switch, making it optional.
² QS-CH2 typically connects to the MOTION-LOCK Sub-System of QS-210/220 platforms.

Why Choose the Qubic System MOTION-LOCK Switch?

The QS-SBML-1 MOTION-LOCK Switch is an essential safety component for sim racing motion platforms, professional simulators, and high-performance motion systems. Designed for reliability, scalability, and instant response, it delivers total confidence and control when it matters most.
