Cycle time calculator for individual reference values
The cycle time of an actuator is calculated from speed, acceleration, deceleration, stroke distance and the payload.
In the following table, ten calculators for cycle time calculation for different series are available for download.

Tips for MS safety instructions
This warning (“Security risk: Microsoft has blocked the execution of macros...”) appears automatically for Excel files downloaded from the Internet following a Windows security update.
Solution:
- Close the Excel file.
- Right-click the Excel file and select Properties.
- At the bottom of the General tab, select the Security section: Check the Allow (or Unblock) box.
- Click Apply and OK.
- Reopen the Excel file.
The calculators use Excel macros. Select “Enable Content” if a warning message appears. If the content has already been disabled, please change the macro setting to “Enable All Macros.”
If, after opening the file, you receive the error message “The object property of the OLEObject object cannot be assigned,” this is due to the ActiveX settings in the “Trust Center” menu.
Solution:
- Click File: Options.
- Select Trust Center.
- Select Trust Center Settings.
- Under ActiveX Settings, select “Enable all controls without restrictions and without a prompt.”
- Click OK.
