Re: Quick Q for "noob" at first

Ken,
I have to add a caveat to your post. Cooling spray frequently will cause moisture to condense on cooled parts and when directed at bearings can wash lubricant out of the bearing. It is for these reasons that I highly recommend mechanical designers view and use the various white papers on drive design that are located in the white paper technical section of CD. (click on white papers on the title bar of this page.) JVN and Joe Johnson have both written excellent information on this subject. Also search technical posts for those written by Raul Olivera and Paul Copioli. All of these mentors have extensive experience in good, efficient design that makes the most of motor characteristics and efficiencies.
