    Great project!!! Congrats.
    What type of DC motor did you use? How Many NM, RPM?

    I used 12v wiper motors.
    they are not very powerful but they are doing their job for the moment.
    I think to change the engines later.

    when destiny offers you reducers. A few months ago, I found in a bin three-phase motors. Their winding was down.
    So I recovered the reducers to fit my stimulator. 20190418_212340.jpg 20190418_212321.jpg

    You are a wizadrd to me :eek: what ... does the simulator really work this way? If so what gearbox/reducer ratio are you prefer? WoW.

    thank you very much, the reducers have a 1/30 ratio, yes the simulator works like this but it will require 2 motor a little faster (1500 rpm) because with 850 rpm there is a small loss of sensations on certain effect .

    new motors new wiring to be able to run the new bldc motors I had to modify the stators, because this motor is made to work with 210 v continuous.
    winding modification:
    42Pole1X14C.gif
    42Pole7X2C.gif
    I bought a bldc motor controller Ws55-220
    415LdQXFxZL.jpg
    and add three-phase contactors for reversing the motor direction, because it is faster than the inverter of the controller
