MOZA AB9 Base Support

Product Overview

The MOZA AB9 is a 12 N·m dual-motor force feedback flight base built on aviation-grade aluminum alloy. Its MCLS (MOZA Control Loading System) technology, segmented-winding servo motors, and fanless sealed design deliver ultra-low cogging torque and near-silent operation. Compatible with the MOZA MH16 Flightstick, MHG Flightstick, MA3X Side Stick, and select third-party grips via adapters, the AB9 also supports the Active Shifter Knob for gear-based force feedback. The open-ecosystem design and universal mounting pattern make it a versatile centerpiece for any flight cockpit.

FAQs

What is MCLS force feedback technology?

MCLS (MOZA Control Loading System) is MOZA's proprietary force feedback technology designed specifically for flight simulation. Powered by dual servo motors with segmented winding, it delivers ultra-low cogging torque and minimal torque ripple for smooth, realistic control forces across the full ±20° pitch range.

Which flightsticks are compatible with the AB9?

Native support includes the MOZA MH16 Flightstick, MOZA MHG Flightstick, and MOZA MA3X Side Stick. Select third-party grips (including Warthog-compatible models) are supported via optional adapters. MOZA Cockpit software allows manual flightstick selection and calibration.

What is the Active Shifter Knob?

The MOZA Active Shifter Knob ($59 CAD) is an optional add-on that provides gear-based force feedback effects through the AB9 base — simulating engine vibration, gear engagement, and other tactile feedback. It is fully supported and configurable in MOZA Cockpit.

How does the AB9 compare to the AB6?

The AB9 delivers 12 N·m of peak torque vs the AB6's 4.25 N·m, uses dual servo motors with MCLS technology, and features a fanless sealed design. The AB6 is a compact, gear-driven entry-level FFB base. Choose the AB9 if you prioritize maximum force feedback fidelity and expansion flexibility.

Is the AB9 loud during operation?

No. The AB9 uses a sealed, fanless design for near-silent operation. The dual servo motors and segmented winding technology minimize mechanical noise even under sustained 12 N·m output.

Can I use the AB9 on Xbox or PlayStation?

No. The AB9 is PC only. It does not support Xbox or PlayStation consoles.
