As in the scenario above, the drive is mounted to the center of a vertical aluminum plate. Here, a
fixed ambient temperature (20°c) is assumed, but different sizes of the plate are considered.
Depending on the size of the plate, the continuous currents specified in the figure are achievable.
The available continuous currents can be further increased when adding active cooling (fan).
3. Servo drive floating in ambient air
This is a reference value when not integrating the node into any structure. As SOMANET servo drives
are designed as embedded products, this situation is not recommended for both thermal and
mechanical reasons!
Attention
A similarly bad cooling situation will be created if the node is mounted to a structure with poor
thermal conductivity, in particular structures made of plastic.
* The continuous phase current given in the specsheet provided by Synapticon assumes this kind of
boundary condition with a 200 x 150 x 20 mm aluminum mounting plate.
