This paper presents an integrated thermal and electromagnetic modeling process for a small permanent magnet brushed motor and its experimental validation. The modeling has been achieved by means of two commercial software, based on lumped-parameters circuit analysis, whereas its validation has been performed by means of infrared thermography. The realization of this model is aimed to give insights on the thermal behavior of the motor in different duty cycle conditions to improve its performance in various applications. This model meets the needs of a company with high level of automation to evaluate during the design phase the characteristics of the suitable duty cycles for a particular motor; now it is employed as an aid in the prototyping of new products.
