SpecLatch for motion & power transmission
Torque, ratio, and service factor — one gearmotor record that fills the whole series' sheets
Power-transmission catalogs are variant matrices: frames × ratios × mountings, every cell with its own torque, speed, and efficiency. SpecLatch models the matrix as series and records — unit-aware, formula-checked — and generates a spec sheet for every model from one template.
The fields you actually spec
SpecLatch has no fixed schema — you model your own catalog. These are the kinds of fields motion & power transmission teams typically define, each unit-aware and tiered from day one:
Ratings
- Output torque
- Rated power (kW / HP)
- Input & output speed
- Gear ratio
- Service factor
Mechanical
- Frame size
- Mounting position
- Shaft dimensions
- Backlash
- Weight
Electrical
- Voltage / frequency
- Efficiency class (IE3 / IE4)
- Enclosure / IP
- Insulation class
Compliance
- CSA / UL
- CE
- Efficiency regulations (DOE / EU)
Series & models
One series, every model's data
Shared construction lives on the series record; each model records only what differs. No more forty near-identical rows where one forgotten cell becomes a customer-visible error.
Rollups go the other way: the series knows its own range, computed from the models beneath it.
What SpecLatch does with motion data
Unit-aware by design
N·m and lb·ft from one number
Torque, power, and speed live once, display in both systems, and can't drift apart. The metric sheet and the imperial sheet are the same record wearing different units.
Dimension-checked formulas
Output speed that computes itself
Motor speed ÷ ratio = output speed, computed as a tested formula. Torque stores once and displays N·m and lb·ft together, and results recompute whenever an input changes.
Documents, designed once
One template, a sheet for every model
Design the spec sheet once, assign it to the series table, and every ratio and frame gets its document — filled from live data, flagged when the data moves.
Three questions that tell you if SpecLatch fits
If two of the three sound familiar, it does:
Every quote starts from the ratings table: torque, ratio, service factor — in the customer's unit system.
A motor efficiency update ripples into spec sheets, the catalog, and your distributors' data — today that ripple is manual.
Your catalog is frames × ratios × mountings: hundreds of models generated from a handful of series.
