The T598 Servo Base utilizes a Direct Axial Drive with an Axial Flux motor, providing a highly realistic and precise force feedback experience. This technology minimizes cogging, resulting in clearer and more detailed effects.

• 5 Nm Constant Torque: Delivers consistent and strong force feedback.
• +100% Overshoot Capability: Allows for sudden, powerful bursts of force feedback, enhancing impact sensations.
• HARMONY Technology: Produces high-frequency torque, enabling the sensation of subtle details like rumble strips, tire screeching, and road textures.
