To successfully integrate the drive into the system, the controller must provide full functionality for motor control. The more functions the drive itself can implement, the fewer add-ons and ...

En route to getting the off-the-peg DC-51 motor speed controller to better suit my small milling machine, I had a go at working out what the circuit is. Approx circuit of DC-51 motor speed controller ...

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...

The speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its terminals. The speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its terminals. This project ...

Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. They exploit ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

I was planning to use the opto-coupler speed sensor as part of a motor speed control – making the motor into the VCO block in a phase-locked loop. When this technique works, using it is simple: put ...

The 20-A continuous (40-A peak) device works over an input voltage range of 20 to 36 Vdc for battery-powered applications. The 4.5 X 3.1 X 1-in. module is fully encapsulated to meet IP65 standards for ...

Maxon Precision Motor's newly released DC servo motor controller, the ESCON 50/5 OEM module. This mini OEM plug in module is a 4 quadrant Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) servo motor controller that can ...
