I'm looking for the cheapest and hopefully easiest way to build a motion base for an in-home simulator. Electrical actuators seem to be the best because they are maintenence free, oiled for life and quite. A friend however said they can't hold much weight and hydraulic or pneumatic systems would be smoother and stronger. Servos are expensive and difficult to program. I'm an amateur with no knowledge of programming or hydraulics. I'm great with computers however and am willing to learn what it takes, I just don't know what to learn. I'm looking for a motion base with two degrees of freedom that can hold around 700 pounds. All I want is pitch and role using pneumatics, hydraulics, actuators, plc's, whatever. What's the best technology, what do I need to put it all together, and where can I find the equipment I need? Thanks in advance, Tim.
