Sizing tools

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.
