SERVOsoft for STOBER Drive System Design 
 
SERVOsoft gives engineers an easy way to size and evaluate complete servo systems before components are selected. The software brings electrical and mechanical elements into the same model, letting users see how motors, gearboxes, drives, and loads interact as a complete system. This makes it invaluable for new machine development, system upgrades, or other applications where STOBER drive components are being evaluated. 
 
How SERVOsoft Supports Servo System Design 
 
Accurate sizing starts with knowing how a machine will move and what each component will experience, so SERVOsoft lets engineers model mechanical loads and motion requirements before committing to hardware. Projects can feature a single-axis motor or a multi-axis servo system with as many as 50 axes in one configuration. 
 
SERVOsoft helps reduce the risk of undersizing or unnecessary oversizing; undersized components may exceed performance or thermal limits, while oversized systems can increase equipment costs, space requirements and energy consumption. SERVOsoft provides engineers with detailed calculations they can use to compare options and make more informed servo system design decisions. 
 
Model Motion Profiles and Machine Loads 
 
SERVOsoft supports rotary and linear motors, as well as mechanical configurations such as ball screws and belt drives. Engineers can choose from 15 predefined mechanical configurations and create complex machine sequences with motion profiles such as S-curve, trapezoidal and CAM profiles. They can also import motion data from Excel or CSV files. 
 
By accounting for variables like payload, thrust, torque, and shaft loads, engineers can see how components are likely to perform under realistic operating conditions. Simplified estimates are a thing of the past. 
 
Evaluate Components Before Finalizing the Design 
 
Before equipment is ever ordered, SERVOsoft can be used to compare motors, gearboxes, drives, and other components against your application requirements. System checks can spot operating limits that are likely to be exceeded, giving engineers a second chance at the configuration. 
 
This software also analyzes power flow, energy consumption, and thermal limits across the system, helping teams compare component combinations and prevent unnecessary oversizing. 
 
Pair SERVOsoft With STOBER Drive Solutions 
 
SERVOsoft’s product database allows engineers to incorporate STOBER components directly into their system models. When assessing a design, engineers can refer to STOBER’s guidance on gearbox selection alongside the software’s sizing calculations. 
 
This includes inline servo gearboxes, right-angle gear units for space-sensitive designs, or rack and pinion systems for linear motion applications. SERVOsoft can model the power train so engineers can evaluate how mechanical elements work with the motor and drive.
