Augury Simulations V-Series 18nm SimuCube OSW Kit Review By The SRG
Barry Rowland of the Sim Racing Garage reviews the V-Series 18nm SimuCube Open Sim Wheel (OSW) by Augury Simulations.
Augury Simulations. based in Almería, Spain are designers and manufacturers of high-end Sim Racing solutions. Augury is most famous for their excellent turnkey OSW based Direct Drive wheelbase systems, but also retail a number of other sim racing hardware products such as high-quality wheel rims, DD Encoders, quick release adapters and a soon to be released high-end pedal set.
Augury offers 3 Direct Drive wheel solutions being an 18nm, 20nm, and 30nm version. All of them are available as eighter an H or V series product, where V stands for vertically mountable controller, and H stands for horizontally mountable controller.
In this review, Barry takes an in-depth look at the Augury 18nm version SimuCube OSW kit in V-Series spec. As usual, Barry takes a look at the technical specifications, disassemble’s the unit to have a look at the inner workings, checks out the mounting options, and finally mounts the unit to his motion trig for a hands-on test.
Getting Started Guide
The Augury Simulations V-Series 18nm SimuCube Open Sim Wheel (OSW) is available via the Augury Simulations website for 919.00 € + VAT and shipping. (The H-Series version is available for 869.00 € + VAT and shipping)
Hardware
Augury V (OSW) integrates the most advanced simulation electronics so you can enjoy a true experience.
The core of the software consists of a SimuCUBE plate that is responsible for obtaining the Force FeedBack of the simulator. On the other hand, the IONI PROHC driver manages the power supplied to the servo motor driving intensity of up to 25A. The power supply unit (PSU) Mean Well supplies power to the unit in a safe and stable way.
Servo Motor
This robust industrial servomotor of the brand MiGE model 130ST reproduces the movements that the simulator sends to the Force FeedBack SimuCUBE controller. Thanks to the Direct drive Technology, we will obtain a quick and direct response from the steering wheel, as there are no belts or gears that could disturb the sensations. It incorporates a high-resolution encoder that achieves a precise positioning in each movement.
The 18Nm model delivers a power of 1.5KW and a maximum torque of up to 18Nm and is presented as one of the ideal options for its good performance. 186x130x130mm (LxWxH). 7.5kg.
Encoder
BiSS-C (4,2 M CPR) Absolute 22-bit encoder with up to 4.2 million CPR. It allows the positioning of the servo motor in a precise way, achieving a supreme definition with respect to any other type of encoder.
Servo Drive
IONI PROHCAble to manage a maximum intensity of up to 25A. The intensity will be adapted according to the technical characteristics of each servo motor
Power Supply
SDR720W (18Nm / 30Nm)PSU with a capacity of up to 720W. The perfect choice for servomotors of 18Nm and 30Nm, so that they can develop their maximum torques in the most extreme situations.
