The diploma illustrates the design process and the production of the prototype of the Stewart platform, which allows movement in six degrees of freedom, especially intended for pilot training. The basic idea was to produce a smaller prototype of the platform, which allows further development, improvement and training. The prototype of a smaller hydraulic platform was designed without previous experience. It consists of two irregular hexagons and six actuators; for this prototype six hydraulic cylinders and a hydraulic power unit as well as an electro-hydraulic control system are provided. In addition, a control programme and a hydraulic diagram have been prepared.
