New product selection tool saves time and provides optimum results

December 2016 News

Bosch Rexroth recently launched its integrated LinSelect selection and sizing software tool, enabling design engineers to find optimal linear axes and actuators from around 100 000 possible Bosch Rexroth product variants for their application in just five steps.

LinSelect delivers an integrated digital engineering process, from selection right through to configuration and electronic order at the Bosch Rexroth eShop. Here, selecting complete axes and actuators extends beyond the mechanical considerations and also encompasses suitable Bosch Rexroth motors and drive controllers.

LinSelect does not just simplify design and procurement for experienced engineers; even inexperienced users are guided intuitively through the selection process, without the need for laborious training and familiarisation. In just five steps, the software narrows down the number of possible variants based on individual needs.

In addition to a pure calculation of mathematical parameters, the software developers have also integrated algorithms with comprehensive application-specific expertise of linear motion systems. Beyond pure mechanicals, the tool also suggests suitable Bosch Rexroth motor and drive controllers.
