Advanced PDK 6dof system: powerful, precise, and reliable

Frequently asked questions

General

The PDK is a 6-DOF motion platform that brings immersive motion to gamers and developers. With high-precision, direct drive motors, it’s perfect for sim racers seeking realistic feedback and developers building XR, gaming, or robotics projects. If you’re passionate about motion innovation, the PDK is for you!

The PDK features 21-bit encoders for micron-level accuracy, operating at 400Hz with a 1.4ms response time. This ensures ultra-smooth, real-time motion, making every track bump in sim racing feel incredibly realistic.

The PDK is compact, fitting in a 1-square-meter footprint. It runs on single-phase power (110V/240V), thanks to its energy-efficient design with recuperative capacitors. It supports payloads up to 250kg, making it versatile for home or lab setups.

A basic knowledge of computers is recommended for people who just want to play.

The initial launch of the PDK is targeted towards knowledgeable developers who will help build on top of the PDK's foundation.

The PDK stands out with its 21-bit encoder precision, compact design, and energy-efficient direct drive technology, all at a fraction of the cost of basic competitors.

You’ll have access to the Kinemaniacs community discord for peer support, plus official resources like documentation and forums on www.kinemaniacs.com.

In the future we plan for the community to be able to share tips, motion profiles, and dev projects.

Absolutely! The PDK is ideal for any application that requires high precision and high-speed motion.

The PDK’s magnetic levitation and pneumatic compensators reduce motor wear, ensuring durability for up to 250kg payloads. Maintenance is minimal, with occasional checks to be outlined in the manual.
