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.
