Faulhaber Launches Calculator to Help Developers Find Drives for Specific Applications

Faulhaber, which develops high-precision miniaturized drive systems, servo components and drive electronics, has announced Drive Calculator, a tool for developers to help them find a suitable drive system for a specific application.
The tool comes with global presets that have common average values, but these default settings can be adjusted to individual needs, such as taking into account the ambient temperature, supply voltage or available space. Results are then shown to the user with a list of results, which can then be narrowed down as needed with additional filters. Faulhaber said the Drive Calculator enables the calculation of seven drive types and two operating modes.

The detail page for each drive system shows the calculated thermal values and performance diagrams, as well as other important data. Faulhaber said the unique feature of this calculator is that users can change values on the fly and then have results recalculated and displayed immediately. The results also show suitable controls that can help complete the drive system. Users can download the selected solutions as a PDF, or request them directly online for purchase.
