Thermal Plastic Manages Motor Heat

The companyÕs thermally conductive polycarbonate plastic has been employed in a high torque, integrated motor plus microstepping driver from Intelligent Motion Systems. Offered as an alternative to aluminum heat management configurations, the thermally conductive plastic draws heat away from the motor and dissipates it into the surrounding air. This new plastic solution is reported as having the benefits of lighter weight, flexibility in design, reduced time to market, and reduced processing costs. Targeted applications include portable equipment and systems where microprocessors are required to perform complex functions at higher speeds in smaller space.
