Engineering CalculatorsMODULAR ACTUATOR CALCULATOR – Determine the proper size based on application loads and life desired.The calculator takes the inputs and assists in sizing the approate linear actuator for your aplication. Select the type of postitioning system on the left, carriage conifiguration, and the load data. Modular CalcuatorDesign Guide Pro – DesignGuidePro application allows engineers and designers to quickly find the appropriate worm gear jack, bevel gear jack, electric cylinder and bearing products for their application.The application makes for easy navigation when searching for design considerations for worm jacks, bevel jacks, electrical cylinders and bearings. Simply plug in the desired specifications, and the app will provide a list of products best-suited for the application. Design Guide ProBALL SCREW TORQUE – The amount of torque needed to drive a load with and with out preload.The Excel based calculator takes the input parameters of a given PMBS ball screw assembly and determines the amount of torque required to move a given load. In addition, it calculates the drag torque variance due to preload. PMBS TorqueHORSEPOWER – The amount of power needed to drive a load.The calculator takes the input shaft speed and the torque required for a given load and derives the amount of horsepower or kilowatts expended. It can also back-calculate either the torque or the speed resulting from a particular power requirement. HorsePower
