    Hi.

    I would like to build motion simulator and I would like to ask you if this motor is suitable and if yes what ratio should i get?

    And also will this hall potentiometer be ok?

    TNX for your feedback. Since the motion will be build with alu profiles and the layout will be similar to 2DOF M2 motion platform.
    And if I will not get 50K ratio I have used calculator to get an info that CTC lenght should be arount 120mm to get around 440mm/s of linear speed. I also assume that if less rpm is used there will be less jerkiness or. am I wrong.
    I hope I did it righ. What are recommended values to get with calculator.

    Thank you.

    I think you may be underestimating what it takes to drive a compact design sim, which need more torque than linear speed at the levers, as the latter is amplified by the height of the seat back. But check my guess in SimCalc to be sure.

    On my compact rig I use 200w motors with 60:1 gearboxes and 65mm CTC levers: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dx-compact-simulator.5866/
