Engineering Knowledge Centre
Technical Information Centre
Define requirements, perform preliminary engineering checks, compare technical routes and reach the controlled information needed to select, integrate and approve an SDT motion solution.
Start with the decision you need to make
Choose Your Technical Route
Define & calculate a requirement
Convert the application duty into torque, speed, power, thermal and interface requirements.
Explore More →Select a motor & drive route
Compare motor technologies and coordinate the motor, gearbox, controller and feedback as one system.
Explore More →Find documents & evidence
Reach drawings, datasheets, CAD information and project-specific compliance evidence without searching through unrelated material.
Explore More →Search & quick engineering tools
Check the Requirement Before Selection
Use these tools for preliminary engineering comparison, then confirm the result against the selected motor, drive, cooling arrangement and application duty.
Unit & engineering conversions
Convert common motor and motion-system units without leaving the technical centre.
