ARES APEX: Realism, Beyond ForceThe newest member of the CONSPIT ARES Series, the ARES APEX condenses the series' core technologies into a more compact, more accessible direct drive wheelbase. Rather than simply lowering the bar, APEX brings professional-grade direct drive within reach: a custom skew-pole motor purpose-built for sim racing, and a force feedback system fine-tuned with input from professional drivers and vehicle dynamics engineers.Precision Performance 8Nm holding torque with a maximum torque change rate of 4 Nm/ms for fast, faithful response 21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder for precise steering input detection Asymmetric dual processors (170MHz + 168MHz) for high-speed, stable performance Skew-pole motor design with ultra-low cogging torque for a smooth, quiet, natural steering feel Intelligent thermal management with real-time temperature monitoring for consistent performance in long stints CDR Quick Release System Auto-locking mechanism for quick, tool-free wheel swaps Stable signal transfer via spring contacts, reliable even under EMI and superior to wireless High-durability industrial-grade slip ring; with the optional USB-A Adapter Spacer, any USB wheel plugs directly into the front of the base for lossless USB passthrough with no cable drag or tangling Built to Last, Built to Fit Single-piece aerospace-grade aluminum motor housing with passive-cooling-optimized design Compact 134 x 150 x 196 mm body, 5.9 kg Bottom (M6 x 4) and side (M8 x 4) mounting; desk mount and profile rig brackets available Multiple layers of electrical and mechanical safeguards; optional CES E-Stop Conspit Link 2.0 software with official presets developed with pro drivers Specifications Holding Torque 8 Nm Motor Skew-Pole Direct-Drive Encoder 21-bit High-Resolution Magnetic Encoder Quick Release CONSPIT CDR Quick Release System (wheel-side optional) Dimensions 134 x 150 x 196 mm Net Weight 5.9 kg Mounting M6 x 4 (bottom), M8 x 4 (sides) Platform PC (Windows) Connection USB direct (USB 3.0 cable) Software CONSPIT LINK 2.0
