Motor simulation tool
Size your application with the motor selection and simulation tool
The motor sizing simulation tool helps to select the right torque or linear motor, using your application characteristics.
About the simtool
Finding the right motor for a given application can be a daunting task. It involves a large amount of interconnected design choices. This online simulation tool is designed to make that process as easy as possible for you.
It will help you select the right kind of torque or linear motor. It creates detailed reports containing all critical values and performance graphs. With a click of a button, you can save yourself hours of doing calculations by hand.
Select the right motor for your application in just 4 steps
The best motor for the job
Most tools on the market only allow you to enter your application data and have the software tell you which linear motor it thinks you need. We realize that things aren’t always that simple in practice. For any given application, it is likely that there are multiple motor types that can handle the task, but which one is the best choice? It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Are you favoring maximum velocity above everything else? Perhaps you are going for maximum efficiency or cost-effectiveness.
Iterative approach
The software doesn’t know your goals, which is why we decided to go for an iterative approach towards simulating your drive task. At all times during the process, you can change movement profiles, application parameters, and motor types and the software calculate the new results on the fly. This way you can quickly experiment with a multitude of scenarios and quickly find the one that best suits your application.
Our support team will help you along the way by finding the right motor for your application if you don’t find the right answers in our simulation tool.
