• Gearing design and optimization

From concept through implementation to re-investment, we stay with our customers to optimize results every step of the way.

cymex^® 5 – The Proven Software for Drive System Optimization

Our free sizing software cymex^® 5 enables the simple dimensioning and evaluation of the complete drive train (application + transformation + motor + gearbox). The precise calculations are facilitated by predefined standard applications such as belt, spindle, rotary-table and rack & pinion drives. Consideration of all major influencing factors and customer-specific parameters result in a reliable and efficient design as well as optimization of the drive system.

• Simple and reliable design through pre-defined standard applications
• All customer-specific application parameters taken into account
• cymex^® 5 Motion Profiler for creating simple and complex motion and load profiles
• Import functions of motion profiles from SAM, Excel, ASCII databases with all WITTENSTEIN alpha products as well as 11,000 motors offered by all current manufacturers
• Visualization of loads in relation to all important component parameters in the drive train
• CAD generator: 3D files of gearboxes and servo actuators including all attached components
• Technical calculation documentation
