Product Info
Qubic System QS-S25
The Qubic System QS-S25 is a professional-grade 6DOF motion platform designed for high-end sim racing, flight simulation, driver training and advanced commercial simulator applications.
Providing movement across surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw, the QS-S25 can reproduce braking, acceleration, cornering, traction loss, vertical movement and rotational vehicle behaviour through a single integrated motion platform.
With a maximum payload of 250kg, system latency of around 8ms, actuator speeds of up to 1000mm/s and acceleration up to 1G on supported axes, the QS-S25 sits at the top end of professional motion simulation.
SimRacer UK is an authorised Qubic System distributor in the UK, supplying the QS-S25 with specialist system specification, configuration and installation support for complete motion simulator projects.
Professional 6DOF Motion Simulation
The defining feature of the QS-S25 is its six degrees of freedom.
Unlike simpler 2DOF or 3DOF systems, the QS-S25 can move across all six fundamental motion axes:
Surge – forward and backward linear movement
Sway – side-to-side linear movement
Heave – vertical movement
Roll – side-to-side rotation
Pitch – forward and backward rotation
Yaw – rotation around the vertical axis
This allows the simulator to generate physical cues for braking, acceleration, lateral load, kerbs, bumps, elevation changes, understeer, oversteer and traction loss through coordinated platform movement.
Full Motion Across All Six Axes
The QS-S25 provides a substantial motion envelope across all six axes.
Qubic’s current technical documentation lists:
| Axis | Excursion | Maximum Velocity | Maximum Acceleration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surge | -139.2 / +115.3mm | 1000mm/s | 1G |
| Sway | -114.7 / +114.7mm | 900mm/s | 1G |
| Heave | -54.3 / +53.8mm | 350mm/s | 0.5G |
| Roll | -5.1° / +5.1° | 40°/s | 500°/s² |
| Pitch | -4.6° / +4.6° | 40°/s | 500°/s² |
| Yaw | -9.8° / +9.8° | 80°/s | 1000°/s² |
These limits are controlled for safe operation while still providing the movement required for advanced racing and flight simulation.
High-Speed Linear Actuator Technology
The QS-S25 uses Qubic System’s high-speed linear actuator technology to provide fast, repeatable movement across the full platform.
Qubic specifies actuator speeds of up to 1000mm/s, acceleration of up to 1G and a vibration feedback range of 0–100Hz, allowing the platform to provide both larger chassis movements and higher-frequency physical detail.
This means the system can reproduce both larger body movements and finer track-related cues within a single motion platform.
8ms System Latency
Motion needs to respond quickly enough to remain synchronised with the simulator.
Qubic quotes approximately 8ms latency for its motion platform architecture, helping minimise delay between telemetry input and physical movement.
Low latency is particularly important in a 6DOF system because multiple axes need to work together in real time without the platform feeling disconnected from what the driver sees and feels through the controls.
250kg Maximum Payload
The QS-S25 supports a maximum payload of 250kg in the basic configuration without accessories.
This payload must account for the moving simulator hardware installed on the platform, including items such as:
- Driver
- Racing seat
- Wheelbase
- Steering wheel
- Pedals
- Cockpit accessories
- Displays, where mounted to the platform
- Additional control hardware
Because complete simulator weight can increase quickly, payload should be considered during system design rather than after the cockpit has been specified.
Designed for Sim Racing
The QS-S25 is particularly suited to high-end racing simulators where the goal is to reproduce a wider range of vehicle movement than conventional actuator systems.
Its six axes allow the platform to generate:
Braking and acceleration cues through surge and pitch
Cornering and lateral load cues through sway and roll
Kerbs, bumps and elevation changes through heave
Oversteer and traction-loss movement through yaw
This makes the QS-S25 suitable for GT, Formula, endurance, rally and drift simulation, as well as professional driver-training applications.
Suitable for Flight Simulation
The QS-S25 is not limited to racing.
Qubic also positions the platform for flight simulation, where six-axis movement can be used to reproduce pitch, roll, yaw, heave, surge and sway within supported software environments.
This makes it suitable for customers looking to build a professional motion platform that can support both driving and flight simulation.
QS-S25 vs 3DOF Motion Systems
A 3DOF simulator typically provides:
Pitch + Roll + Heave
This already gives useful feedback for braking, acceleration, cornering and vertical road movement.
The QS-S25 adds:
Surge + Sway + Yaw
These extra axes allow the simulator to provide independent longitudinal movement, lateral translation and rear-end rotational movement.
For customers looking for the most complete motion architecture rather than a conventional actuator upgrade, the QS-S25 therefore represents a significant step beyond a 3DOF system.
QS-S25 vs Qubic QS-210 & QS-220
The QS-210 and QS-220 are modular actuator systems that can be installed beneath suitable cockpits and configured for 2DOF, 2.5DOF or 3DOF motion.
The QS-S25 is a complete integrated 6DOF platform.
The QS-S25 itself is based around three QS-220 motion sets, together with dedicated upper and lower frames, controller hardware and a complete integrated platform structure.
Choose QS-210 or QS-220 if you want to add modular motion to an existing suitable cockpit.
Choose QS-S25 if you want a complete professional 6DOF platform designed around all six motion axes from the outset.
QS-S25 vs Qubic QS-S35
Both the QS-S25 and QS-S35 are professional 6DOF motion platforms.
The QS-S25 is the more compact of the two and provides a substantial six-axis motion envelope suitable for advanced racing and flight simulation.
The QS-S35 sits above it for applications requiring a larger physical motion envelope and even more extensive professional simulator capability.
For many professional racing simulators and premium home installations, the QS-S25 provides an extremely high level of motion without requiring the larger footprint and movement range of the QS-S35.
Modular Design for Installation
Although the QS-S25 is a substantial machine, Qubic has designed it in a modular format to make transport and installation more manageable.
The system can be broken down into transportable sections that are sized to pass through standard doorways, then assembled at the final location. Qubic states that no special floor anchoring is required for normal use.
This makes the QS-S25 more practical for residential, commercial and training installations than its size might initially suggest.
QS-S25 Dimensions
Qubic lists the basic QS-S25 platform at approximately:
160.3cm long × 170.1cm wide × 87.7cm high
The current documentation also states that maximum heave movement reaches approximately 108.3mm, so sufficient overhead clearance must be allowed when planning an installation.
Additional accessories, cockpit hardware and monitor mounts increase the overall installation dimensions.
QS-S25 Cockpit Accessories
The QS-S25 can be supplied as the core motion platform or configured with Qubic’s dedicated cockpit accessories.
Available cockpit hardware includes mounting solutions for:
- Racing seat
- Direct drive wheelbase
- Pedals
- Keyboard
- Desk/accessory mounting
- VR headset and headphones
- Seat belts
- QS-BT1 Belt Tensioner
- Racing seat adjustment
A dedicated triple 32-inch VESA 100×100 monitor mounting system is also available.
This allows the QS-S25 to form the foundation of a complete simulator rather than operating only as a motion platform beneath an existing cockpit.
Qubic Manager Motion Software
The QS-S25 is controlled through Qubic Manager, Qubic System’s dedicated motion-control software.
Qubic Manager processes game telemetry and controls the motion platform while allowing users to adjust motion behaviour, intensity and individual effects.
The software supports a wide range of popular PC racing and flight simulation titles and is continually updated as additional integrations become available.
Does the QS-S25 Need a Special Power Supply?
The QS-S25 operates from a standard single-phase mains supply.
Qubic specifies:
120/230V AC ±10%, 50–60Hz, single phase with ground and neutral.
The manufacturer recommends a B16 miniature circuit breaker together with appropriate protective earth and residual-current protection.
For UK installations, electrical requirements should be considered as part of the simulator specification before installation.
How Much Power Does the QS-S25 Use?
Despite the performance of the system, typical average power use is significantly lower than its short-term peak requirements.
At 230V, Qubic currently lists approximately:
0.20kW average power consumption during a typical game
0.46kW average during a stress test
with peak power requirements reaching around 2.4kVA.
Actual consumption can vary with payload, motion intensity and the simulation being used.
Is the Qubic QS-S25 Worth It?
The QS-S25 is aimed at customers who have moved beyond conventional static simulators and simpler motion upgrades.
It makes the most sense where the simulator requires:
Full six-axis movement
Professional-grade motion hardware
High payload capacity
Low-latency motion
Integrated racing or flight simulator hardware
Professional, commercial or training use
For a conventional home simulator, a QS-210 or QS-220 system may provide a more appropriate balance of cost, footprint and performance.
For a high-end simulator where complete 6DOF movement is the objective, the QS-S25 is the more appropriate Qubic platform.
Who Is the Qubic QS-S25 For?
The QS-S25 is particularly suited to:
- Premium home motion simulators
- Motorsport simulation
- Professional driver training
- Commercial simulator installations
- Racing experience centres
- Universities and research applications
- Flight simulation
- Advanced vehicle-development simulators
