Account for the centre of gravity

When choosing a linear axis, it’s not just the load’s weight, but its position relative to the carriage that matters.
A load’s centre of gravity far from the carriage increases stress on guide bearings.
Ignoring this can cause undersized axes and shorter service life.
Festo software tools consider centre of mass and project parameters to select systems with reliable lifecycles.
