VisualSizer - Professional
Servo Motor Sizing Software for Windows

VisualSizer-Professional is a generic (manufacturer independent) servo motor sizing & selection software for the motion control engineer. It includes databases containing 6000+ motor/drive/amplifier combinations of various motor manufacturers. In addition it provides a database editing tool to add, delete and modify motor data.

The motor database includes the motor manufacturers like Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation), AMK Drives, AutomationDirect, Automation Intelligence, Baldor, Bayside Motion Group, Dynetic Systems, Festo, GE Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Moog, Oriental Motors, Ormec, Parker, Schneider Automation, Siemens Energy & Automation, Yaskawa and more will be added in the near future.

A Comprehensible Guide to Servo Motor Sizing
by Wilfried Voss

The Importance of servo motor sizing should not be underestimated. Proper motor sizing will not only result in significant cost savings by saving energy, reducing purchasing and operating costs, reducing downtime, etc.; it also helps the engineer to design better motion control systems. However, the knowledge of mechanical systems and their influence on motor speed, inertia and torque requirements seems to decline in a world where modern technology aspects, such as tuning and programming, seem to be the main focus. The motor sizing process involves a number of mathematical equations, which are most certainly documented, but not necessarily with the motor sizing process in mind. This book focuses primarily on servo motor sizing and it documents in detail the inertia and torque calculations of standard mechanical components and the motor selection process.
