Time-consuming catalogue searches for the drive, motor and accessories are eliminated by the automatically generated parts list, complete with order numbers.
Hoerbiger-Origa has a new sizing program to assist design engineers with selecting electric linear actuators for specific applications.
For example, should an engineer need to know which electric linear drive will move 12kg by 480mm vertically upwards in 3s, the EL-sizing program will give the answer in a few seconds.
After starting the EL-sizing program users will find themselves in an intuitive, user-friendly working environment.
Its simple design leads the user through the input of all technical information.
Time-consuming calculations of static and dynamic movement parameters are carried out automatically by the program.
This is especially useful when values are changed during the planning phase - EL-sizing saves valuable time by avoiding complex recalculations.
As soon as all the values have been entered or changed in the input field, one button click brings up a list of all suitable linear drives in seconds.
Complete linear drive/motor packages can also be selected.
Time-consuming catalogue searches for the drive, motor and accessories are eliminated by the automatically generated parts list, complete with order numbers.
And the clear display of the results, corresponding to the parameters you entered, creates complete transparency.
