1.2.1.3 Thermal Mounting Considerations
SOMANET Circulo is designed to be integrated into a robot or machine.
specifications of SOMANET Circulo
, thermal aspects have to be considered during this
integration. The following instructions shall be followed:
1. The air surrounding the SOMANET Circulo must be no hotter than 60 °C. This typically refers to the air
inside the robot housing or inside the machine.
2. SOMANET Circulo must be mounted to a mounting structure that is no hotter than 70 °C (“mounting
temperature”). This mounting structure:
must be made of metal, preferably aluminum
have a surface quality of Rz16 or better
can be the robot or machine structure, the motor housing or other parts.
3. Mounting of Circulo must be done using all mounting screws. The entire thermal interface surface
(highlighted in the drawing below) must touch the mounting structure. In operating cases that are very
close to the thermal limits, we recommend using a very thin layer of electrically conductive thermal paste.
Note
This interface is also used for connecting Functional Earth. For details, please refer to
