Two independently controlled shoulder channels communicate both the \u003cstrong\u003estrength and the direction\u003c\/strong\u003e of an event. With up to \u003cstrong\u003e30 kg of peak pull per side\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e150 mm of direct linear travel\u003c\/strong\u003e and adjustable belt geometry, it is a complete active harness system — not simply a mechanism for tightening the belts. Designed and assembled in Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeel the forces. Not just the motion.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Belt Module turns vehicle telemetry into physical force through the harness. Under braking, the belts can increase the force holding the driver into the seat. During acceleration, cornering, curbs, bumps and gear shifts, belt tension changes dynamically with the car. Because the left and right shoulder channels are controlled independently, the system can communicate direction as well as intensity — the harness becomes another physical feedback system, adding force directly to the driver's upper body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent left and right feedback:\u003c\/strong\u003e a single belt channel can communicate changes in tension; two independent channels can also create asymmetrical feedback, allowing the system to communicate where an event is coming from — left\/right cornering forces, curb-side differentiation and other effects where direction matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePull the belt, don't wind it:\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than winding the harness around a rotating spool, the Belt Module moves each shoulder belt using direct linear actuation, with 150 mm of travel per channel. The system does not depend on a changing spool diameter as the belt moves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 30 kg per side:\u003c\/strong\u003e each of the two independent channels delivers up to 30 kg of peak pulling force, approximately 294 N, controlled through SIMRIG Control Center and supported by hardware and software safety systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned around belt geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e adjustable upper rollers establish the final belt path toward the driver. Roller height and module angle can be set so that the shoulder belts pull predominantly rearward into the seat rather than simply downward, with ball-bearing rollers reducing friction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnough travel for base and peak:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 mm combines a comfortable base tension with considerably stronger dynamic feedback during braking, cornering and other events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack 2\" 5-point harness included,\u003c\/strong\u003e along with an emergency stop, a 120 W power supply, mounting hardware and the required installation tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo separate driver software required:\u003c\/strong\u003e everything runs through SIMRIG Control Center over a USB connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-year warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed and assembled in Sweden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to start. Deep by design.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a simple setup, the driver primarily chooses two values: \u003cstrong\u003eBase\u003c\/strong\u003e, the normal, comfortable harness tension used while driving, and \u003cstrong\u003ePeak\u003c\/strong\u003e, the strongest dynamic belt force the system should apply. Calibration and normal operation are then handled automatically. Drivers who want more control can fine-tune individual effects and use profiles for different cars and simulators. When telemetry is inactive, the system releases the belts to allow easier movement, and automatically returns to operation when driving resumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak force:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 30 kg per side (approximately 294 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForce channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 independent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinear travel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarness:\u003c\/strong\u003e black 2\" 5-point harness included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTilt adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to approximately 30°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting-height adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 57 to 85 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate module weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e target under 30 minutes on compatible rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftware:\u003c\/strong\u003e SIMRIG Control Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIMRIG Belt Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack 2\" 5-point harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 W power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmergency stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmergency-stop splitter cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired installation tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIMRIG Control Center support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Belt Module is designed for installation on a wide range of aluminium-profile simulator rigs. Depending on rig geometry, the module can attach using either the top slot or the side slots of the rear profile, with two structural mounting points providing a rigid installation. Some rigs that use a rear mounting plate instead of a rear aluminium profile may require an additional customer-supplied 40x40 or 40x80 aluminium profile. Hardware installation is targeted at under 30 minutes on compatible rigs, although installation method and time vary with rig geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeat Fit Still Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Belt Module can adjust the belt path behind the seat, but it cannot compensate for a seat that does not fit the driver correctly. For the best belt geometry, the \u003cstrong\u003etop of the driver's shoulder should sit within the vertical height of the seat's shoulder-belt opening\u003c\/strong\u003e. Choose a correctly sized seat first, then use the Belt Module's height and angle adjustment to fine-tune the belt path behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks Standalone. Better Together.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SIMRIG Belt Module is a complete standalone system and does not require a SIMRIG motion system. When combined with SIMRIG motion, both systems operate through SIMRIG Control Center using the same underlying telemetry: the motion system moves the driver while the Belt Module changes the forces holding the driver in the seat. Both can react to the same event at the same time, creating a more unified physical response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy two independent channels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single belt channel can communicate changes in tension. Two independent channels can also create asymmetrical feedback, so the system can communicate where an event is coming from — left\/right cornering forces, curb-side differentiation and other effects where direction matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a harness included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A black 2\" 5-point harness is included, along with the emergency stop, the 120 W power supply, the mounting hardware and the required installation tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my rig?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Belt Module is designed for a wide range of aluminium-profile rigs and attaches using either the top slot or the side slots of the rear profile. If your rig uses a rear mounting plate instead of a rear aluminium profile, you may need to add a 40x40 or 40x80 profile behind it. Contact us if you are unsure about your rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set it up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou primarily choose two values in SIMRIG Control Center: Base, the comfortable tension used while driving, and Peak, the strongest dynamic force the system should apply. Calibration and normal operation are then automatic. Deeper tuning and per-car or per-game profiles are available when you want them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a SIMRIG motion system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Belt Module is a complete standalone system. Used alongside SIMRIG motion, both run through SIMRIG Control Center on the same underlying telemetry, so they react to the same event at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideo Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the SIMRIG Belt Module in action, tested by the sim racing community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview German\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jZ1b-gEKyUg\" title=\"SIMRIG Belt Module review by RON Reviewt\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview French\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cs3zup9_crk\" title=\"SIMRIG Belt Module review by Naga Racing\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"SimRig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59553848557893,"sku":null,"price":1979.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/6261\/7157\/files\/SIMRIG-SBM-Belt-Tensioner-SimRig-474108563.png?v=1790962597","url":"https:\/\/thefrenchsimracer.com\/en\/products\/simrig-sbm-belt-tensioner","provider":"The French Simracer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
