All electric motors, from the compact servomotors in robots to the giant motors pumping fluids around chemical plants, generate substantial heat during operation. Managing that heat is critical for the reliability, performance and longevity of the motor.
Thermally conductive adhesives are one tool for doing just that. These adhesives are known for their thermal stability and electrical insulation properties. The thermally conductive fillers contained in these adhesives transfer heat efficiently. These adhesives do more than just bond two parts; they fill microscopic air gaps between the components, enabling heat to transfer efficiently from one part to the other.
