Why spend hours searching when you can design?

As an engineer, your time is best spent solving complex challenges, not hunting down CAD files, chasing product specs, or manual calculations.

The Engineering Essentials Portal brings Bosch Rexroth's entire digital ecosystem together in one interactive document. It is your shortcut to precision engineering across hydraulics, linear technology, electric drives, and assembly systems.

Multi-Technology Support: Tools for Every Discipline

No matter your field, the Engineering Essentials Portal has you covered with specialized digital tools:

Hydraulics (Industrial & Mobile)
Size pumps, simulate circuits, and configure complete Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) with smart calculators and configurators.

Linear Motion Technology
Accelerate your design with the Linear Motion Designer (LMD) and configure custom multi-axis systems error-free.

Electric Drives & Controls
Access sizing software for servo motors, download PLC programming templates, and streamline your automation workflow.

Assembly Technology
Easily design workstations, flow racks, and safety guards using our intuitive CAD-integrated layout designers.

FAQ

Q: What specific software downloads are accessible through the portal?

A: The portal provides direct access to our most powerful offline engineering software. You will find downloads for:

• Linear Technology: LinSelect (for easy selection of linear axes) and the Linear Motion Designer (LMD).
• Hydraulics (Industrial & Mobile): Scheme Editor (for drawing schematics), Simster (for hydraulic simulations), and Interactive Fluid Office (IFO).
• Assembly Technology: MTpro (layout designer) and the FRAMEpro CAD plug-in.
• Electric Drives & Controls: IndraSize (drive sizing), IndraWorks, SafeLogic Designer, and CamBuilder .

Q: Can I configure customized components directly online?

A: Yes, the portal features direct links to our error-free online configurators. You can customize multi-axis systems, ball screw assemblies, hydraulic power units, CytroMotion actuators, external gear pumps, and design entire architectures with the ctrlX Configurator .

Q: What is "FRAMEpro" and how does it help my CAD workflow?

A: FRAMEpro is a CAD plug-in for Assembly Technology that integrates seamlessly with your design environment . It allows you to design frames and enclosures using Bosch Rexroth aluminum profiles directly within your CAD software, automatically generating the bill of materials and eliminating manual data entry.

Q: Are there visual guides if I get stuck with a tool?

A: Absolutely. Every major section in the Engineering Essentials Portal (Linear, Hydraulics, Assembly, and Electric Drives) includes direct links to a curated library of "How-to Videos". These expert-led videos walk you through configurations, calculation processes, and automation solutions step-by-step.

Q: Do I need a paid license to use tools like Simster or LinSelect?

A: No, the engineering tools, simulation software (like Simster), and configurators linked in the portal are provided as free resources to assist design engineers.

Q: How does the document help me if I work in Mobile Hydraulics?

A: The mobile hydraulics section is fully integrated, giving you quick access to the CHoose software alongside configurators for axial piston pumps, load sensing control blocks (like the M4 series), and electrohydraulic components .
