Functionality of water cooling

The fluid cooling of electric motors can be converted in different ways. Basically, there are always ducts in the stator of the motor through which mainly water is conducted because water has the best heat coefficient. For that reason, we refer, both as a rule and also in this text, to water-cooled electric motors.

The cooling pipes can either be housed in a special cover or, as in the latest water-cooled servo motors from Baum��ller, directly in the motor casing. The version with the cover cooling has the result that the motor needs more space and when realized directly in the housing the dimensions of the water-cooled motors are identical to those of the uncooled motors. In principle, the water is then simply pumped through the motor and repeatedly cooled down again by a cooling unit. Then the motor does not get too hot and can deliver optimal output. The general rule: the more current is fed to the motor, the more the motor heats up and the more the cooling has to do.
