The so-called six degree of freedom motion platform is actually that there are six electric cylinders jointly supporting a platform, using the telescopic movement of the six electric cylinders to complete the movement of the platform in the space of six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, α, β, γ), so that various spatial motion gestures can be simulated.

In simple terms, the six-degree-of-freedom movement platform is actually an instrument used to simulate various movements of objects and human bodies in space.

The six-degree-of-freedom motion platform has been widely used in aerospace, Marine environmental engineering, entertainment equipment and other fields because of its characteristics of large load, fast speed, high precision and fast response speed.

Recently, the six-degree of freedom movement platform has also been cited by the sports industry, as a "black technology" appeared in the Beijing Winter Olympics athletes dedicated training ground, is a combination of VR technology six-degree of freedom movement platform simulation training system. With this system, athletes can complete their training in indoor cross-country skiing, slalom skiing and other events.

In engineering projects, the use of six-degree-of-freedom motion platforms should not be underestimated. For example, when working at sea, six-degree-of-freedom motion platforms are often used to achieve smooth transfer of materials.
