So many motors, so little time –Sizing software aids engineers in motor selection process
Rohnert Park, California, July 8, 2004 — Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division is pleased to announce its newest engineering tool, Parker Motion Sizer™. Choosing the correct motor-and-drive combination is one of the most complicated steps in specifying a new motion application; complex systems may require many hours of tedious sizing calculations. Parker’s new generation of computer-aided motor sizing provides solutions within moments, giving engineers the right selection for their application.Parker Motion Sizer is a Windows-based sizing program that uses a systems approach to motor sizing.
The software tools model the system mechanics, simulate the motion profile, include any applicable external forces and take into account the amplifier characteristics before choosing the optimum motor and drive from a database of thousands of combinations. Motor products include servo, stepper and direct-drive motors. To download or order this FREE software, log on to www.parkermotion.com or call 800-358-9070.
