Waste heat

Ensure that the cooling fins can dissipate waste heat into the environment by free convection.

Observe the following notes to ensure optimum heat convection:

  • Use SEW‑EURODRIVE mounting systems or suitable spacers, e.g.:
    • Spacers
    • Profiles
    • Square pipes
    • Mounting plates
    • T-beams
    • Rails
  • Ensure that the cooling fins are not located in a closed hollow space.
  • It is essential that a minimum distance of 15 mm between the highest cooling fin and the next surface, e.g. mounting plate, is maintained.
  • Avoid heat sources in the immediate proximity of the device.
