Motion Chair Floor Loading Guide

Information and Analysis of Motion Chair's Load
Weight Information
Weight of Motion Chair : 350 kg
Weight of moving part in Motion Chair : 172 kg
Weight of 4 persons : 90 kg * 4 = 360 kg
Overall weight of moving part = 172 kg * 360 kg = 532 kg (Mmv)

Vertical Load Analysis

Static Load : Weight of Motion Chair + Weight of 4 persons = 350 kg + 360 kg = 710 kgf
Maximum acceleration of Motion Chair (in direction of gravity) : 0.3 G
Dynamic Load : Overall weight of moving part * Maximum acceleration of Motion Chair
= 532 kg * 0.3 G = 159.6 kgf
Maximum Floor Loading force : Static Load + Dynamic Load = 710 kgf + 159.6 kgf = 869.6 kgf

Horizontal Load Analysis

Maximum Rotational Acceleration (max) = 250 deg/sec2
Distance from rotational center to C.G (H) = 0.65 m
Maximum Floor Horizontal force = Mmv * H * = 532 kg * 0.65 m * 250 * / 180
= 1508.8 N = 153.8 kgf

Scent Cartridge Lifespan
Since Scent Cartridge consumption can vary somewhat depending on Contents and
Programming, it is difficult to determine exactly how long a Scent Cartridge will last. However,
based on a standard of 4-6 screenings per day and use of effects 5 times per Content, a
Cartridge can be used for a total of 90 day. As it's only average, it may vary per content and
hours of use.
