Do You Want to Drive Like a Race Car Star?
Imagine you are sitting in a fast car. The seat moves. The wheel shakes. The pedals feel real. You hear loud sounds. The world looks and feels just like the real thing. What makes all this happen? Actuators!
At Jimi Technology Co., Ltd., we help you make this dream come true. We know about real car feelings because we build linear actuators and smart automation systems. With us, you can race, drive, or learn in a way that feels safe, fun, and real.
Why Do Real Driving Simulators Matter?
Kids and grown-ups love fun games. Race car drivers need smart training. Makers of cars need to test new computers and buttons. If you want to:
- Be better at driving
- Learn new skills
- Feel like a real racer
- Test cool new car ideas
- Have fun racing at home
You need a simulator that feels real. And for that, you need the best actuators.
What Is an Actuator?
An actuator is a smart helper. It can move things up, down, back, or sideways. It can push and pull with power. In a driving simulator, actuators let you:
- Feel bumps on the road
- Sense the car turn left and right
- Press pedals with real force
- Grasp a steering wheel that fights back
Our actuators can move fast, slow, hard, or soft. We turn computer signals into real moves and shakes.
See How a Simulator Works With Actuators
Let’s build a race car at home. Here’s what you find:
- Motion Platform
- Your seat tilts, rolls, and even moves up and down.
- This shows G-forces, road camber, and vehicle dynamics.
- Steering Wheel
- The wheel pushes back when you turn.
- You feel road grip, tire slip, turning resistance.
- Pedals
- The brake pedal gets hard when you need to stop.
- Gas pedal feels springy.
- Clutch pedal has real weight.
- Vibration Systems
- Feel the engine rumble.
- Sense the bumpy road.
Our electric linear actuators and special feedback systems make these feelings come alive.
Types of Actuators for Simulators
Let’s look at the choices. Each has its own magic.
| Type | Good Things | Not So Good | Where It’s Used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic | Big force, fast | Loud, messy | F1, NASCAR, big labs |
| Electric | Quiet, smart | Not for big cars | Home simulators, pro training |
| Pneumatic | Fast, light | Not so exact | Entry sim rigs, shakes only |
| Special Use | For tiny jobs | Small motion | Little feedback, tiny shakes |
At Jimi Technology, we lead in Electric Linear Actuators. They are clean, strong, and last a long time. See our full line of servo linear actuators for simulators.
How Many Ways Can Your Simulator Move?
Smart driving simulators use Degrees of Freedom (DOF). More moves mean more real.
| Move Name | Feels Like | For What? |
|---|---|---|
| 2-DOF | Up and down, tilt side | Starter kits, fun games |
| 3-DOF | Up/down + two tilts | Better, more real |
| 6-DOF | Up, down, left, right, | Pro training, racing |
| tilt, twist |
Want the best? Get the most DOF. We can make it happen with custom electric cylinders and strong, fast actuator kits.
What Else Makes a Simulator Real?
You need more than just a moving seat. You need:
- Sharp screens or VR headsets
- Great engine and tire sounds
- Real-time control software with physics engines
- Haptic feedback like seat shakers
These things work together with your motion platform. We supply actuator systems made to fit any design you dream up.
How Real is Real? Check Out the Stats
| Market Fact | What It Means | Why Care? |
|---|---|---|
| $2.1 Billion USD | Size of the simulator market (2022) | It’s big business—trusted by experts |
| <20 ms Latency | Motion system speed target | Feels smooth, no motion sickness |
| Up to 6-DOF | How many ways your seat can move | More DOF means more lifelike |
| 40% Fewer Crashes | Trained on simulators, truckers are safer | Great for schools, companies, and families |
Many pro companies trust simulation:
- F1 teams like Mercedes-AMG and Red Bull Racing
- Car makers like Toyota and BMW
- Training groups like L3Harris/CAE
- Top brands like Cruden, VI-grade, Ansible Motion

What Problems Do Simulators Face?
Even the best simulators need to:
- Fit in your room (space counts)
- Stay cool and safe (power needs)
- Work every day, all day (tough jobs)
- Be easy to fix & clean (simple maintenance)
- Stop people from feeling sick (low latency, smart design)
Jimi solves these issues. Want strong, silent, small, or easy-to-use actuators? We help you pick the best for your job. See our compact, high-speed linear actuators that fit even in small spaces.
