Abstract:
A system and method for cooling an enclosed position feedback device mounted to a motor is disclosed. An active cooling device is mounted between the position feedback device and the housing enclosing the position feedback device. A compliant mount is provided to accommodate vibration in the position feedback device. The compliant mount may be a compliant thermal pad positioned between the feedback device and the active cooling device. Optionally, the compliant mount may be provided between the motor and the position feedback device.
