    There is no specific rule to calculate how many Movers you will need, because this number is strongly dependant on the desired effect, on loads acting on the Movers and other factors. It is usually suggested to use at least one Mover DD/ID each 350 kg (770 lbs) if a strong vibration/movement effect is required. Technical Data | 5...

    12 : 1.1. Fixed part A fixed part is mandatory to use the Mover DD, it is part of your project and it can be whatever you want, but it must be immovable (e.g. a concrete floor or concrete steps, the chassis of a roller coaster). This part must be relatively fixed with respect of the connection plate of the Mover DD itself, that in fact moves.
