Active Belt-Tensioner

Motion-Systems Qubic System - Belt Tensioner BT1 - Multi-purpose, dual channel, direct drive seat belt tensioner

Note: All BT1 units supplied by us have the ‘new’, quieter power supply unit. Please note: Delivery does not include an IEC power cable – please order separately (only available from us for German and compatible sockets with type E+F safety plugs) or purchase one yourself that complies with the standards in your country (See image ‘Power Requirements’ for requirements)!

The Polish manufacturer Motion Systems, which has developed the “Qubic System” motion platforms among other things, has launched a new sensation: the QS-BT1 belt tensioner.

And we are rather proud of this development ourselves, as Force2Motion was a driving force behind the creation of this add-on. With input from the racing and flight sim communities, we have persistently campaigned for Motion Systems to build what we consider to be an indispensable extension for the Qubic systems. And now Motion Systems has unveiled this product, which can also be fitted to many stand-alone cockpits without motion. And of course, it’s a great addition for those who already have ‘everything’. Well done, guys!

In combination with the BT1V3 adapter we developed, the Seat Belt Tensioner can be mounted on both a Next Level Racing V3 and virtually any other seat console. The function of a seat slider for longitudinal seat adjustment is fully retained.

About:

Powered by the same technology as the stunning QS-220, the QS-BT1 is a multi-purpose dual channel direct drive seatbelt tightener that enhances immersion in racing simulations like no other device in its class and price range. It not only complements the force feedback of the direct drive steering wheels, but also enhances the overall experience of the already highly immersive QS motion platforms and can even be used as a standalone, independent device if required.

Simulation of braking, lateral acceleration, cornering at high speed, wheel lock and loss of traction are among the key features of QS-BT1. Asymmetric engine vibrations and road effects such as rumble strips are also available for games that support them. Although QS-BT1 was mainly developed for racing simulations, with its 200 N force per channel it can also be successfully used in flight simulators to give you the feeling of gigantic forces during high acceleration manoeuvres.

Motion-Systems Qubic System - QS-BT1 to Next Level Racing® Motion Platform V3 Installation Kit

The QS-BT1 to Next Level Racing® Motion Platform V3 Installation Kit is a solution for connecting the QS-BT1 to the Next Level Racing® Motion Platform V3. Designed for a quick installation and stable connection between Motion Platform and QS-BT1 belt tensioner. Whether you are configuring new equipment or upgrading existing components, this bracket ensures a simple and hassle-free installation process.

Scope of delivery:

• Adapter set
• Set of screws

Please note: BT1 Belt-Tensioner, Cockpit etc. are NOT included.

Note: As this adapter is fitted directly to the V3, the use of a seat slider is not possible or only possible to a limited extent. The seat shifts in relation to the rigidly mounted BT1, which can lead to undesirable effects. Furthermore, no Buttkicker Gamer can be installed on the V3. There is a solution for both problems: If a seat slider is installed, we recommend using the F2M seat slider: Force2Motion adapter for Qubic BT1 Belt-Tensioner to NLR Motion Platform V3 Motion Platform V3
