I'm pleased to announce the 'Space & Time Saver'
Gecko motor driver heatsink mini-kit.
As you may be aware, the Gecko 2xx series can
drive up to 7 amps per phase (two phases) and the
Gecko 3xx series can drive up to 20 amps. Geckodrive
themselves recommend heat sinks be used over 3 amps.
Therefore to make such heatsinking very easy, the
kit includes:
- 1 finned aluminum heatsink
- 8 mounting holes cnc drilled & tapped to exactly
match the Gecko drive mounting tabs
- 4 mini-capscrews & allen (hex) key
- packet of silicone heat sink compound (promotes
heat transfer from the Gecko to the heatsink)
- 470 uFarad 100 Volt despiking capacitor which
Geckodrive recommends
If packed together in behind the case fan, or
at the exit of the air from the case, three or four
of these heatsinks make for a very compact and
efficient cooling arrangement (see photo's on the website).
These naturally compliment our 1 KW 75 Volt Gecko
specific power supply kits announced previously.
The cost is $20 each (bought with a power supply kit),
or $25 each otherwise. I only have a limited quantity.
