Online electric actuator sizing program simplifies design and specification of electric motion control projects. The software allows precise specification of either rod-style or rodless electric actuators based on the motion profile, orientation, loads and forces. Details can be saved, printed and shared electronically. The sizing software uses a simple six-step process that includes defining the workload, establishing motions, matching an actuator, selecting a motor, adding features such as mounts or switches, and viewing the results. Reporting tool allows final results to include all or selected aspects of the project parameters, along with a 3D CAD file.
