Thermal resistance which is the reciprocal of thermal conductance represents how well a material resists heat transfer through a defined path. A large cross section aluminum plate would have a very low thermal resistance, for example, while the values for air or a vacuum would be considerably higher.
In the case of DC motors, there is a thermal path from the motor windings to the motor case and a second thermal pass between the motor case and the motor environment ambient air, etc. Some motor manufacturers specify a thermal resistance for each of the two thermal paths while others specify only the sum of the two as the total thermal resistance of the motor. Thermal resistance values are specified in temperature increase per unit power loss.
The steady state temperature increase of the motor T is given by:. Because the Kelvin scale uses the same unit increment as the Celsius scale, we can simply substitute the Kelvin value as if it were a Celsius value. One could use similar calculations to answer a different kind of question. For example, an application may require that a motor run at its maximum torque with the hope it will not be damaged by overheating.
The designer wants to know how much torque the motor can safely provide without overheating. Now we can recalculate the new torque constant k M to observe the effects of temperature rise on motor performance:. From the formula we derived above:. As we can see, the torque constant weakens as a result of temperature increase as does the Back-EMF constant!
We could continue calculating additional parameters as a result of the hotter coil and magnet, but the best results are yielded by performing multiple iterations which is best done by quantitative software.
As the motor temperature continues to rise each of the three parameters will change in a fashion which degrades motor performance and increases the power losses.
This can happen even if initial calculations demonstrated an acceptable temperature rise using values of R and k M at ambient temperature. Note that the maximum allowable current through the motor windings could be increased by decreasing the thermal resistance of the motor. The rotor-to-case thermal resistance R th1 is primarily fixed by the motor design. The case-to-ambient thermal resistance R th2 can be decreased significantly by the addition of heat sinks.
Motor thermal resistances for small DC motors are usually specified with the motor suspended in free air. Therefore, there is usually some heat sinking which results from simply mounting the motor into a thermally conductive framework or chassis. Some manufacturers of larger DC motors specify thermal resistance with the motor mounted into a metal plate of known dimensions and material.

Weather balloons are used to perform all kinds of experiments in the atmosphere.
The balloon is filled with enough helium to reach the target atmospheric layer and carries underneath it a small radio-controlled measurement lab. Their single-use measurement lab was a cut-down version of a much more expensive multi-use platform and used a servo motor to drive a pump.
In this project, it was important that the motor was able to keep a constant speed. The PCB was mounted to the back of the motor and using Hall sensors, could read motors speed continuously. Precision Microdrives has proven capability in designing and manufacturing electro-mechanical mechanisms for medical devices. With demand for new innovative medical devices rapidly increasing, lower device price points will make these products widely adopted, especially with diagnostic applications which are being prioritised worldwide.
Our medical device customer asked us for support in developing an innovative method of dispensing precise measures of medication, through an inhaler. We developed two different motors for this product to be used in the same instrument. For the sake of easy assembly, we also developed a custom wireset and custom shafts. The validation of these was very important. One of the risks identified in the application was potential damage due to radial and axial load.
We supported the customer in validating the gearbox against the expected load and provided support in design best practices to avoid longevity issues. Industrial products and machinery are becoming more complex in design demanding a wider range of functions than ever before. Therefore requiring higher performing parts at a fraction of the size. Here at Precision Microdrives we design and manufacture reliable and verified micro DC, Gear and Vibration Motors with a range of customisations to give you as much choice, power and efficiency when designing your challenging industrial applications.
Our customer was designing a new battery powered handheld instrument to implement a new and recently patented gas analysis method. The analysis method requires the instrument to process the collected sample using two pumps that need to remain synchronised. The sampled gas is sent via these pumps to various electronic detectors which conduct the actual tests. We designed a brushless DC motor solution, with a customised encoder and flex PCB sealed within a grounded metal enclosure.
The device passed the stringent ATEX guidelines and we have been manufacturing for this customer ever since. Products in this industry often need to meet strict requirements to make sure they are secure and provide guaranteed protection and reliable results. The customer required a like-for-like performance drop-in customised 6mm dc motor for their electronic door lock.
