5.1.1 Mounting position
The mounting position for units with cooling fins depends on the application:
Applica-
tion
Mounting po-
sition
Speed Power reduction
Stationary Vertical [1] - -
Horizontal [2] 50%
Mobile Vertical [1] Slow traveling velocity ≤ 0.5 m/s -
Horizontal [2] 50%
Vertical [1] Fast traveling velocity > 0.5 m/s -
Horizontal [2] -
In stationary applications, the horizontal mounting position [2] causes a power reduc-
tion of 50% due to reduced convection.
When using a horizontal mounting position for a mobile application, the cooling fins
must be parallel to the travel direction so that sufficient cooling and convection are
possible.
The following figure shows permissible and impermissible mounting positions:
