Ingenia expands services offering CFD thermal analysis on integrated servo drives

In partnership with SOLID Group, Ingenia has expanded their in-house capabilities with high value engineering services, adding thermal analysis with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to their product portfolio and internal working methodology

SOLID Group has a multidisciplinary team of engineers with extensive experience in thermal analysis that together with Ingenia know-how and expertise in customized servo drives design provide full scope of engineering services and solutions for motion control applications.

Thermal analysis based on computational fluid dynamics is an invaluable technique to quantify component temperatures and visualize air flow that helps to create a time and money-saving electronic cooling strategy that ensures product thermal performance and quality.

When servomotors and servo drives are made more compact, thermal problem becomes an issue. Thermal management studies optimize heat dissipation, address thermal management problems common to products with printed circuit boards (Encoders) or power components (IGBTS, MOSFETs, etc.), and help in selecting electronic devices and to design high power density products.

Benefits of CFD applied to servo control design:

Airflow optimization: ensure that devices receive the sufficient ventilation, delivered in the most effective way

Heat sinks: select the right heat sink to achieve a successful product cooling

Fan selection: how to choose the best fan to meet the products airflow requirements

Case/Packaging design: keep temperature-sensitive components within an acceptable envelope
