External Heatsink Selection
Figure 6 shows the heat transfer principle from the drive heatsink plate to the heatsink
ambient air.
Figure 6
Figure 6 Thermal Equivalent Circuit
For a given ambient temperature the heatsink plate temperature must not exceed the
maximum allowable value. As the R
HSP
and R
HSP-EHS
are essentially fixed, this condition
must be satisfied with proper heatsink selection.
Select an External Heatsink by the Thermal Resistance
Use the formula below to calculate the maximum thermal resistance R
EHS_max
.
Select a heatsink with a smaller thermal resistance than R
EHS_max
. The heatsink height and
width should be close to the drive dimensions. If the selected heatsink has a thermal
resistance that is too high, then choose a heatsink with a different shape (e.g. longer or more
fins). Compare the actual mounting conditions with the ones mentioned for the R
EHS
value
in the heatsink specifications and apply reduction factors if necessary. Also remember that
the heatsink cooling ability can reduce by time due to dirt.
NOTICE: If the heatsink height and width are much larger than the drive heatsink plate dimensions or if
multiple drives are installed on one heatsink, it may be necessary to apply correction factors to the thermal
resistance value given in the heatsink specification. Consult the heatsink manufacturer.
Check the Feasibility of a Given Heatsink
If a heatsink is given or the selection is limited by the installation conditions (space available
etc.) use the formula below to calculate the actual heatsink plate temperature.

If T
HSP
is smaller than the maximum allowable heatsink plate temperature, the selected
heatsink can be used. For verification of temperature, refer to Checking and Monitoring
Heatsink Plate Temperature on page 8.
NOTICE: Due to uneven compound thickness, uneven heat generation across the heatsink plate or other
factors, the actual heatsink plate temperature (monitored in U4-08) can be slightly different from the
calculated value. An oH drive fault may occur if the heatsink plate temperature exceeds the maximum
allowable value.

Heatsink Selection by Thermal Resistance
Substituting the example values into the formula gives:
The heatsink must have a thermal resistance lower than 1.7 K/W. When selecting the
heatsink apply a safety margin to the calculated value in order to ensure tripless drive
operation, even if the installation conditions change (temporary higher temperature, loss of
cooling ability of the external heatsink due to dust, etc.).
Feasibility Check of a Selected Heatsink
If for example a heatsink with R
EHS
= 1.6 K/W is selected, the heatsink temperature will be:
The selected heatsink can be used, but considering that the heatsink area is probably larger
than the drive footprint and the ambient conditions could change (reduced heatsink cooling
ability by dirt, etc.), a heatsink with a lower R
EHS
(e.g. R
EHS
= 1.1 K/W, resulting in T
HSP
= 72.2C) should be chosen.
