    Hi,

    as i write in the topic i am going to plan (in my mind) a 360 DOF.

    My plan sees 2 rings eacht with one 3 kw motor.

    The Motor of the inner ring + all the other electronic like computer, Monitor and so on will also be in need of
    Power.

    My question is, before i go further with planing, if this item will give the required power for one PC and the 3 kw motor of the inner moving ring.



    Maybe someone has the knowledge to take a look at this and give me some advice.

    Thanks

    I think what you mean is how do connections work between moving parts, and that is slip rings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

    That said do plenty of research, as a 360 degree rig is complex, costly and without something like a G-Seat is pretty limited in terms of simulation. As a result 360 degree rigs are often discussed, but only rarely built.

    I understand your point.

    I just wanted to know if this item has enough capabilities for the power that will go through it.
