Calculation of Cycle Times

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.

Note:

The calculators work with Excel macros. Select "Enable content" when a warning message appears. If it has already been disabled, please switch the macro setting to "Enable all macros".
Use cycle time calculators as a guide only. Please contact us before making any final selections.
