CAD POINT, cymex® select, and cymex® 5 cover different steps in drive design and complement each other perfectly: - **CAD POINT** quickly provides CAD data, dimension sheets, and ordering information for the desired gearbox. - **cymex® select** generates accurate product recommendations in seconds based on just a few inputs. - **cymex® 5** enables complete, detailed calculation of entire drive trains—including motion profiles, load cases, and safety reserves. ##### What data do I need to start sizing? A few basic values are usually sufficient to get started: - Motion or position data (distance, speed, cycle) - Load data (mass, force, torque) - Application information (operating mode, cycle times, environmental conditions) - Optional: Motor data or desired interfaces. cymex® select requires very little key data, while cymex® 5 uses additional details to precisely model complex axes. ##### Which tool is right for my use case? I need a quick product recommendation → CAD POINT I want to calculate a complete powertrain in detail → cymex® select I am searching for CAD data or technical performance data → cymex® 5 ##### How do I get from the quick layout to the detailed design? There is none direct technical interface between cymex® select and cymex® 5. However, cymex® select provides you with an initial, quick assessment of which gearbox variants are fundamentally suitable for your application. Based on this preselection, you can then carry out in-depth, technically detailed sizing in cymex® 5. ##### Do the tools also support complex or multi-axis applications? Yes. cymex® 5 was developed specifically for demanding, multidimensional engineering tasks: - Multiple axes can be simulated within a single project - Master-slave or gantry systems (for example, pinion-rack, ball screw, or belt drives) cymex® select was developed for the rapid sizing of individual axes, CAD POINT for the availability of CAD data and technical performance data. ##### Can I see or inquire about prices or availability directly? The sizing tools can be used to generate requests for quotes directly. The tools also take into account fast product availability, such as FAST LANE products, if these are suitable for the application. Price lists themselves are not integrated. ##### Do I need a login to use the tools? For CAD POINT and cymex® select: No, both tools are available online without a login. For cymex® 5: This is desktop software that needs to be installed and licensed. ##### Can I compare different products with each other? Yes. cymex® select has an integrated comparison function that allows you to directly compare multiple gearbox variants in terms of performance, price/performance ratios, and interfaces. In cymex® 5, different variants of the designed axis can be compared technically. Precise drive design is crucial today for making machines powerful, energy-efficient, and durable. With the WITTENSTEIN Sizing Tools – CAD POINT, cymex® select, and cymex® 5 – users have access to a comprehensive digital tool chain that covers the entire process of gearbox and drive train design: from quick preselection and informed product evaluations to detailed simulation of complete kinematics. CAD POINT provides direct access to all the necessary technical data for the products, including CAD models, performance data, and dimension sheets. The search function using ordering codes makes it easy to quickly find existing variants, while immediate, login-free access significantly speeds up design work in the CAD system. This eliminates the need for manual data research and allows components to be integrated into the machine design without any loss of time. For fast but accurate product selection, cymex® select offers an innovative quick layout feature. Within seconds, the tool generates top-quality product recommendations based on the individual application. This is made possible by intelligent calculation logic that takes into account performance requirements, dynamics, limit values, and price/performance ratios. The direct request for quotation and login-free access make cymex® select particularly attractive for designers, automation engineers, and technical purchasers who need to make quick, reliable decisions. For demanding engineering tasks, cymex® 5 is a powerful desktop software that calculates the entire drive train in detail. Users can map real motion profiles and simulate load collectives. The exact replication of these technical parameters increases design reliability and minimizes the risk of subsequent failures due to overloads during operation. The deep integration of motors, gearboxes, and pinion-rack systems results in precise models. In addition, various applications such as belt drives, spindle drives, or belt drives can also be mapped. Together, the three tools provide a comprehensive, technology-oriented solution for modern drive design: They combine high data quality, intelligent logic, industry-leading calculation models, and practical simulations. Users benefit from shorter development times, greater planning reliability, and more reliable drive systems—from CAD integration to final machine approval. This end-to-end digitalization not only makes sizing faster and easier, but above all more effective, as every decision is based on sound technical principles. ![](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/_processed_/9/c/csm_logo-sculpture_e38190faf6.webp) Contact us ------------ Would you like to learn more about our solutions?
