What Motion Systems does
Motion Systems (legal entity: Motion Systems Michał Stanek) is a Polish sole proprietorship based in Nadolice Wielkie, Dolnośląskie, that designs and manufactures motion platforms and motion simulators for professional and consumer markets. The portfolio spans 2DOF to 6DOF linear-actuator platforms under two go-to-market lines: the Professional Series (PS-6TL-1500, PS-6TL-800, PS-6TL-250) for enterprise, defense, education, and research applications, and the Qubic System sub-brand (QS-S25 Spider, QS-V20, QS-220, QS-CH2) targeting serious sim racers and flight simulation enthusiasts. Core hardware is built on patent-pending linear actuator technology offering up to 800 mm/s velocity, sub-8 ms latency, and 1000 Hz control frequency.
The company's software stack is the primary integration moat: ForceSeatPM is a platform manager shipped free with every hardware purchase and ships with native profiles for 40+ simulation titles; ForceSeatMI and ForceSeatDI SDKs expose motion APIs to Unity, Unreal Engine, MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++, C#, Python, and Raspberry Pi; VR HeadWay applies mathematical compensation to eliminate platform motion from VR tracking via SteamVR and OpenXR; and Motion Theater synchronizes motion playback with VLC-rendered video for entertainment use cases. The company is bootstrapped, holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from TÜV SÜD, and sells globally on EX-WORKS terms via direct email ordering with Pro-Forma invoicing and deposit payment. A team of 36 employees supports continuous bi-monthly software releases documented from 2024 through 2026.
Motion Systems serves customers across professional flight training, racing and driving simulation, military and defense (MIL Series), research and education (Inholland University, NTU), entertainment and VR centers, automotive (Tushek), transportation (Grupa Cargo), and a long tail of simulation integrators (Bohemia Interactive, Next Level Racing, Pure Imagination Studios, SIM FACTOR, Flint Systems, eflight, MXT, Torque3, AVS, REWIND, Imagination). Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, software licensing (SDKs and Motion Theater on quote-based pricing), and bespoke custom solutions, with ForceSeatPM acting as a freemium anchor that reduces buyer friction.

Does Motion Systems have an API?
Yes. Motion Systems offers two SDKs for motion platform integration: ForceSeatMI (Motion Interface) is a higher-level programming interface that sends telemetry data to ForceSeatPM, delegating hardware control and error handling to the platform manager. It supports inverse kinematics for 3DoF and 6DoF platforms. ForceSeatDI (Direct Interface) is a lower-level interface that controls hardware directly without requiring ForceSeatPM, allowing control of multiple motion platforms from a single PC with full synchronization. Both SDKs are available for Windows PC, Linux, and Raspberry Pi 3/4. Developer documentation is at motionsystems.eu/files/ForceSeatMI.pdf.
What industry is Motion Systems in?
Motion Systems's product category is Motion Simulators. Its primary akta.pro industry code is IMAHAHAG, Motion Control Components (Servos, Drives, Motors, Encoders), with a secondary code of HDACAFAC, Game Controllers, Joysticks & Flight/Driving Sim Controls.
