About MotionConvert
MotionConvert is a web application for engineers, students, and motion experts to make calculations and use tools for designing motion applications.
What We Do
MotionConvert provides a suite of specialized tools for motion engineering:
- Drivetrain Builder — Configure motor, gear stages, and output for a complete drive system. Experiment with different ratios and see real-time results.
- Unit Converter — Convert between 100+ units across 13 categories relevant to motion applications: speed, torque, power, force, distance, and more.
- Gear Finder — Find optimal gear or pulley combinations to achieve a target ratio with available tooth counts.
- Belt Length Calculator — Calculate belt length for three-pulley configurations.
- Statusword Calculator — Decode CiA 402 statusword and controlword values used in servo drive communication.
Who It's For
- Engineers designing motion systems, conveyors, positioning tables, and automated machinery
- Students learning about drive systems, gear ratios, and motion control
- Motion experts who need quick calculations for sizing motors and gearboxes
Technology
Built with Django and Python on the backend, with a responsive HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend. All calculations run server-side using Python's Decimal library for precision. No client-side calculation — one codebase, one source of truth.
