Qubic System QS-S35

The Qubic System QS-S35 is the flagship professional 6DOF motion platform from Qubic System, designed for the most demanding racing, flight, training and commercial simulation applications.

Providing independent movement across surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw, the QS-S35 combines an exceptionally large motion envelope with high-speed actuators and precise real-time motion control.

With over 342mm of total heave movement, maximum surge movement approaching 730mm, maximum sway movement of approximately 632mm and yaw movement exceeding 54° across its maximum envelope, the QS-S35 goes substantially beyond conventional sim racing motion systems.

A 250kg maximum payload, high-travel actuator architecture and professional Qubic Manager motion software make the QS-S35 suitable for premium sim racing installations as well as professional driver training, flight simulation, research and commercial applications.

SimRacer UK is an authorised Qubic System distributor in the UK, providing specialist specification, configuration, delivery and installation support for QS-S35 projects.

Flagship Qubic System 6DOF Motion Platform

The QS-S35 sits at the top of the Qubic System motion range.

While conventional motion simulators may provide two, three or five degrees of freedom, the QS-S35 provides movement 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

Combining these movements allows the platform to reproduce complex vehicle and aircraft behaviour through coordinated physical movement rather than relying on a limited number of motion cues.

Class-Leading Motion Range

One of the defining characteristics of the QS-S35 is its exceptionally large motion envelope.

Qubic specifies maximum movement of approximately:

This gives the QS-S35 more than 342mm of total maximum heave movement, approximately 730mm of maximum surge range and approximately 632mm of maximum sway range.

For racing simulation, this larger motion envelope provides substantially more physical movement for acceleration, braking, elevation, banking and vehicle rotation than conventional compact motion systems.

High-Speed 6DOF Performance

A large motion envelope is only useful if the platform can move quickly enough to respond to simulator telemetry.

The QS-S35 combines its long-travel architecture with high movement speeds and acceleration.

The combination of large travel and fast response allows the QS-S35 to reproduce both sustained platform movement and faster changes in vehicle behaviour.

Experience Full Vehicle Movement

The QS-S35 is designed to communicate vehicle dynamics through the driver’s entire body.

In a racing simulator, its six-axis architecture can provide physical cues associated with:

Acceleration and braking through surge and pitch

Lateral acceleration and cornering through sway and roll

Kerbs, bumps and elevation changes through heave

Oversteer, rear-end movement and traction loss through yaw

Because these axes can operate together, the platform can reproduce complex combinations of vehicle movement rather than treating each effect independently.

High-Fidelity Racing Simulation

For sim racing, the QS-S35 provides a very different level of physical feedback from a static simulator or compact motion platform.

Its large surge and pitch ranges can communicate acceleration and braking movement, while sway and roll reproduce lateral vehicle behaviour through corners.

Yaw introduces physical rotation associated with rear-end movement, oversteer and traction loss, while the substantial heave range allows the platform to communicate elevation, compressions and vertical track movement.

The QS-S35 is suitable for advanced GT, Formula, endurance, rally and drift simulation, as well as professional motorsport and driver-training applications.

Traction Loss Without a Separate Platform

On many modular motion systems, additional hardware is required to introduce independent traction-loss movement.

Because the QS-S35 is a true 6DOF platform, yaw is already integrated into its motion architecture.

This means rear-end rotation and traction-loss movement can be generated as part of the same coordinated motion platform responsible for surge, sway, heave, roll and pitch.

For rally, drifting and advanced vehicle-dynamics simulation, this is an important advantage of a complete 6DOF architecture.

Over 342mm of Heave Movement

Qubic specifically highlights the QS-S35’s more than 342mm total maximum heave movement.

Heave is the vertical axis of a motion simulator and can be used to communicate physical movement associated with track elevation, compressions, crests, kerbs, bumps and other vertical inputs.

The QS-S35 provides maximum heave excursion from approximately -169.9mm to +173.3mm.

This extensive vertical range is one of the major differences between the QS-S35 and more compact motion systems.

Professional Flight Simulation

The QS-S35 is not limited to motorsport.

Its six-axis architecture and extensive movement range also make it suitable for professional and high-end flight simulation.

Pitch, roll and yaw can reproduce aircraft attitude changes, while surge, sway and heave provide additional linear movement.

Applications can extend from conventional fixed-wing simulation to helicopters, aerobatics and professional flight-training environments.

Qubic also specifies the platform for other advanced simulation applications, including military vehicle, rollercoaster and marine simulation.

QS-S35 vs Qubic QS-S25

Both the QS-S25 and QS-S35 are professional Qubic System 6DOF motion platforms, but they are designed for different levels of movement and installation.

The QS-S25 provides a more compact 6DOF solution suitable for high-end home, professional and commercial simulators.

The QS-S35 is the flagship platform, providing a substantially larger motion envelope.

The QS-S35 offers:

More than 342mm total maximum heave movement

Approximately 730mm maximum surge range

Approximately 632mm maximum sway range

Up to ±27.1° maximum yaw

Its physical platform is also considerably larger and heavier, with a product weight of approximately 475kg.

Choose the QS-S25 where professional 6DOF movement is required within a more compact installation.

Choose the QS-S35 where the priority is the largest available Qubic motion envelope and flagship professional performance.

QS-S35 vs 3DOF Motion Systems

A conventional four-actuator 3DOF motion system can provide:

Pitch + Roll + Heave

This provides an effective way of reproducing braking, acceleration, cornering and vertical track movement.

The QS-S35 additionally provides:

Surge + Sway + Yaw

These additional linear and rotational movements allow the platform to physically translate forwards, backwards and sideways while also reproducing independent vehicle rotation.

For customers moving beyond conventional cockpit motion, the QS-S35 provides a complete six-axis architecture rather than requiring additional traction-loss or surge platforms to add further degrees of freedom.

250kg Maximum Payload

Despite its extensive movement range, the QS-S35 supports a maximum payload of 250kg in its basic configuration without accessories.

The moving payload needs to account for the complete simulator installation, including the:

Driver
Seat
Wheelbase
Steering wheel
Pedals
Displays where mounted to the moving platform
Simulator controls
Additional accessories

Correct payload calculation is therefore an important part of specifying a QS-S35 installation.

SimRacer UK can help plan the complete simulator before ordering to ensure the intended hardware is appropriate for the platform.

Integrated Triple Monitor Support

The QS-S35 incorporates a monitor mounting solution designed around a triple-screen simulator.

Qubic recommends three curved 32-inch monitors, with the mounting system supporting:

VESA 75 × 75mm

VESA 100 × 100mm

Qubic’s recommended monitor specification allows for screens weighing up to 5.5kg each.

The displays move with the simulator platform, helping maintain the driver’s relationship with the screens as the QS-S35 moves through its extensive motion envelope.

Monitors are not included.

Direct Drive Wheelbase Mounting

The QS-S35 is designed to accommodate serious simulator controls and is supplied with alternative steering-wheel mounting arrangements.

Qubic provides both a flat mounting desk and direct drive bracket, allowing the platform to be configured around the intended steering hardware.

This makes the QS-S35 suitable for high-performance direct drive wheelbases from leading sim racing manufacturers, subject to the appropriate mounting configuration.

SimRacer UK can specify the wheelbase, steering wheel and pedals as part of a complete QS-S35 racing simulator.

Qubic Manager Motion Software

The QS-S35 is controlled through Qubic Manager, Qubic System’s dedicated motion-control software.

Qubic Manager processes telemetry from supported PC simulations and translates it into coordinated movement across the platform’s six axes.

Motion profiles allow individual effects and overall motion intensity to be adjusted according to the simulator, vehicle and driver’s preferences.

Qubic Manager supports major racing and flight titles on PC and is continually updated as further integrations become available.

Professional Power Requirements

The QS-S35 is a professional high-performance motion platform and its electrical requirements need to be considered during installation.

The system requires:

230V AC ±10%

50–60Hz

Single phase

Ground and neutral connection

Qubic recommends an electrical installation using an appropriate 16A Type C circuit breaker, protective earth and residual-current protection.

With a 150kg test payload, Qubic records approximately 0.3kW average power consumption during a typical game and approximately 1.1kW during its stress test, although consumption can increase with payload and motion intensity.

Electrical installation requirements should be confirmed before installation.

Professional Installation Requirements

The QS-S35 is not a conventional plug-and-play sim racing accessory.

The platform weighs approximately 475kg and produces a very large physical motion envelope.

Qubic requires the platform to be anchored to the floor, and sufficient clearance needs to be provided around all moving components.

The manufacturer specifies at least 500mm clearance between the machine and the nearest object because of the QS-S35’s extensive range of movement.

Transport and installation also require careful planning because of the system’s dimensions and weight.

SimRacer UK can work with customers before purchase to assess room dimensions, access, floor suitability, power requirements, simulator specification and installation requirements.

QS-S35 for Professional & Commercial Simulation

The QS-S35 is particularly well suited to applications where a conventional consumer motion system is insufficient.

Potential applications include:

Professional motorsport simulation

Driver development and training

Flight simulation

Commercial simulator centres

Motorsport hospitality and experiences

Universities and research

Vehicle-development simulation

Military simulation

Marine simulation

Advanced entertainment installations

Its extensive motion envelope makes it particularly relevant where physical simulator movement forms a fundamental part of the installation rather than simply being an optional enhancement.
