engineers derived the optimal fin thickness and spacing using
a specially designed computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
model.

Finned Motors - Designed for Horizontal
and Vertical Orientation
Figures 2 and 3 show charts comparing the variation between
hC (heat transfer coefficient for convection) with ∆T for the
finned motor design against traditional types. The heat
transfer coefficient shows a massive 100% to 200%
improvement over conventional housings.
Figure 4 compares the rated torque of a range of motors with
and without radial finning. The figure takes account of the
effect of any additional conductive cooling through the front
flange and radiation. The additional convection cooling gives
a sizeable increase in torque for the finned motor range.

Ordering Information
Use the information given in the illustration below to create
an order code for the Unimotor. The details in the green
band are an example of an order code. CT Dynamics
recommends that you order the required mating connectors
at the time of placing your order. For further details turn to the
cables. See also the grid overleaf, which gives standard and
optional features available for each motor. If you are unsure
which motor you need see ‘Selecting the Correct Motor’.
