Product details
Third-party wheel support for Alpha EVO
The QR-A is designed for the SIMAGIC Alpha EVO series. A compatible USB steering wheel connects to the adapter, while the wheelbase provides the data connection to the PC. This avoids the need for a long cable rotating around the steering shaft and helps create a cleaner cockpit installation.
50 mm and 70 mm mounting patterns
Support for both common mounting standards makes the QR-A suitable for many steering wheels, button plates and hub systems. The 70 mm pattern provides front and rear mounting positions, helping accommodate the mounting layouts used by different manufacturers.
Lightweight forged-aluminium construction
The adapter is CNC-machined from forged aluminium alloy and finished with an anodised surface treatment. Its compact 467 g design reduces additional rotating mass, helping the Alpha EVO retain responsive force-feedback behaviour.
