<p>A simulator mechanism has a simulator capsule (10) mounted on a platform (12) which provides a simulator operating plane. Three independent hydraulic rams (20, 24 and 26) are used to change the position of the simulator operating plane. The actuators (20, 24, and 26) are pivotally coupled at separate points on the platform (12). The weight of the simulator capsule (10) is carried by the three actuators (20, 24 and 26). Two of the actuators are positioned on a line perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of both the base plane and the simulator operating plane. The third actuator (20) is positioned at one end and on the longitudinal axis of the base plane. Restraining mechanisms (16 and 18) are in the form of A-frames.</p> |
