How much heat sink is enough - G320X
I am getting ready to start connecting electrical parts on the Hurco, and I finally broke down and bought some Gekc Driver servo amps a while back. I know I need to heat sink them, but how much heat sink do they need?
I read one thread in searching where a guy had just polished the paint off the back plate in has cabinet. Slathered on some heat sink compound, and screwed down his drives. Is that enough. Its a big piece of metal, but its just a big flat piece of metal. I can make heat sinks easy enough if they need more than that. It just takes time away from other jobs.
The cabinet the 320s are going in is pretty large and it will get both a fresh air and an exhaust fan since I plan to put all the electronics except the VFDs in that cabinet, and put everything else in the other big cabinet. (Fresh air might get routed via duct from my office for a cooler source.)
