Direct Drive Motor Selection & Simulation Tool

Almelo, The Netherlands, August 2018 – Tecnotion launched its new online simulation tool. This new online tool replaces our offline tool. With the new calculation tool, you can simulate motor behavior under different conditions and with different movement profiles, all in a very dynamic environment.

Are you favoring maximum velocity above everything else? Or are you going for maximum efficiency or cost-effectiveness? You can always change movement profiles, application parameters, and motor types. The software will calculate the new results on the fly. This lets you experiment with different scenarios and quickly find the one that best suits your application.

Four easy steps to use the tool
When signed in on the simulation tool webpage you can choose how to start the simulation, first, select a specific motor type and series. Then, select a suitable motor based on the necessary force. As a third step, add one or more movement profiles, to reflect real-life movement, and change the application data, to play, for example, with thermal and mechanical properties. Finally, the tool will show a graph with every relevant parameter, and a table with the relevant values of these parameters. You can see in an instant whether the motor is suitable or not. The inserted data can be adjusted easily. While adjusting, all the graphs and the displayed tabulated values change immediately, allowing you to find the optimal situation very smoothly.

Usability
Not only the usability of the tool has been increased, but also a lot of new features have been adopted. For example, all motors that can be found in the Tecnotion brochures – iron core, ironless, and torque – are now available to choose from. Moreover, it is possible to save all the created simulations inside the tool and adjust them at a later stage. In the torque motor simulations, there is an option to switch between degrees, radians, and revolutions. For American users, there is a possibility to use imperial units, instead of SI units.
