APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING NOISE GENERATED BY ROTATING COUPLINGS AND DRIVES

摘要

A heat sink element for a device is operable by relative rotation of a conductor rotor assembly and a magnet rotor assembly. The heat sink element includes a base portion and a plurality of fins. The base portion includes a mounting face that is sized and dimensioned to be coupled to the conductor rotor assembly, and an opposing convective heat transfer face. The plurality of fins extend from the convective heat transfer face of the base portion. Adjacent fins are separated by a channel that extends along a longitudinal direction of the fins. The fins include at least one surface disruption on a top surface thereof.
