QUBIC SYSTEM QS-BT1 Seat Belt Tensioner for Racing Sim

Driven by the same technology as breathtaking QS-220, QS-BT1 is a multi-purpose, dual channel, direct drive seat belt tensioner that increases sim racing immersion like no other device in its class and price range. It can complete not only force feedback offered by direct drive wheels, but also move up the level of overall experience offered by already really immersive QS motion platforms and if needed, it can even act as a standalone independent device.

Simulation of braking, lateral accelerations, high speed cornering, wheel locks and traction loss are among list of primary features of QS-BT1. Asymmetrical engine vibrations and road surface effects like rumble strips are also available for games that support them and despite being designed mainly for sim racing application, with its 200 N of force per channel, QS-BT1 can also successfully be used in flight simulators, to make you feel gigantic forces during high G manoeuvres.

Enhancing Car Braking Simulation Experience

Belt tensioner QS-BT1 significantly enhances the level of realism, providing you with an unparalleled opportunity to deeply engage in the intricate dynamics of braking.

This innovative device transforms car simulations into an exhilarating and exceptionally authentic experience, setting a new standard for the intensity and authenticity of virtual driving.

Advanced Steering Simulation with Dual Tensioner Tech

The advanced technology of the dual-channel seat belt tensioner enables precise steering motion simulation, creating a dynamic and realistic experience when turning.

Feel subtle reactions on corners and have full control over the steering wheel, just like in a real vehicle.

Vibration to Increase Immersion

QS-BT1 is an advanced seat belt tensioner equipped with innovative engine vibration technology. With this device, you can literally feel the pulsation of the engine power, adding realism and intensity to their virtual driving experience.

Engine vibrations are precisely tailored to reflect changing road conditions, responding to dynamic accelerations and gear shifts. QS-BT1 allows you to fully immerse themselves in simulated automotive emotions, delivering unforgettable sensations for both racing simulator enthusiasts and those seeking realistic automotive experiences.

Gear Shifting Realism

Seat belt tensioner QS-BT1 goes beyond traditional simulation experiences by introducing the sensation of gear shifting. Through its sophisticated technology, you can distinctly feel the transition between gears as the seat belts respond accordingly to gear changes.

This innovative integration enhances the overall realism of the driving simulation, providing you with tactile feedback that replicates the nuanced dynamics of a real vehicle, making the virtual driving experience even more immersive and engaging.

Compatibility with Other Devices

Device alone is not able to create sensation of forward acceleration and high speed cruising, especially when driving electric vehicle, where engine vibrations are absent and there is only road noise. Even with all effects tuned up, there is a feeling that something is still missing on long straight, in formula car, driving 300 km/h. Fortunately QS-BT1 is compatible with all motion platforms that are powered by Motion Systems technology (QS, PS, HS [1]) and also with our simple to build, fully OpenSource, DIY WindSim which can easily demonstrate you what it is like to drive a car without a roof… in winter… wearing a wig.

Beyond 4 Wheels

Being jet fighter pilot is your dream? You want to experience the overload (G) that pilot feels?

QS-BT1, with its astonish 41 kg/90 lbs of sustained pulling force, allows to experience and feel differences between 1G, 2G, 3G or even 9G. Positive G, negative G or both, everything depends on your preferences, sky it the limit, literally. Centrifugal forces, engine vibrations, cannon fire, missiles launch or flares dispose [2] - all of them generate an accurate feedback through QS-BT1 and immerse you deeply into the simulation. The missing factor that binds your body to the seat, the stress you feel on your body during tight manoeuvres, making you wonder if you really wish to repeat the same manoeuvre, are all finally there to make the gap between reality and the simulation once again smaller.

High-stress Simulations

Professional racing harnesses are built for extreme conditions, offering superior safety and durability over sim racing harnesses. Their robust construction withstands dynamic movements from the QS-BT1 platform, essential for realistic g-force simulation.

Unlike sim racing harnesses, which wear out faster and offer less safety, professional harnesses feature a secure locking mechanism that prevents accidental release during use, yet allows quick disengagement under load for safety. This balance ensures both security and ease of exit in high-stress simulations and ease of use.

Ready For 24h Endurance Racing

The QS-BT1 provides extremely quiet operation thanks to the technology used as in the QS-220. As a result, with the near-silent performance, QS-BT1 can be used at late hours without disturbing the rest of the household and is perfect for long endurance races where there is a driver changeover - your racing partner will be able to rest or sleep peacefully next to the running QS-BT1.

When No Motion Is Just Better

Classical motion platforms have no choice and have to depend on Earth's gravity when it comes to prolonged accelerations. Even having 20 deg pitch gives only about 3.3 m/s2 [4] of perceptible sustained acceleration, which assuming 50 kg as human's chest weigh, equals to only 165 N of force. Doing any trail-braking, which requires both pitch and roll to simulate it correctly, reduces mentioned forces drastically. When compared to QS-BT1, which generates 200 N per channel [5], it is obvious that they belong to two different leagues. When both systems are combined, the motion platform does not need to emphasize that much on simulating prolonged accelerations anymore and can utilize the full extent of its capability on everything else.
