• Position the motor so that the cooling air can freely ow in and out.
• Make sure that no heated discharged air is drawn in.
• Maintain the minimum clearance between the air intake and discharge openings and
adjacent components (see the "Minimum clearance" gure).
Minimum clearance to neighboring components or surfaces
s The minimum clearance is 30mm.

4.5.3 Thermal mounting variants
Non-thermally insulated mounting
Some of the motor power loss is dissipated through the ange when the motor is connected to
the mounting surface.
• Observe the following mounting conditions for the specied motor data:
