One of the more interesting hacks we’ve seen this year is [Carl]’s experimentations with making motors out of PCBs. Honestly, it’s surprising no one has done this before — a brushless motor is just ...

This is yet another project born of necessity. It’s a simple circuit, but does exactly what it’s designed to do – dim LED lights or control the speed of 12V DC motors. The circuit uses PWM to regulate ...

To reap all the benefits that an electric motor drive can offer, choose one that's a perfect match for your application A speed control enables the motor to achieve maximum efficiency during all ...

The ability to control the motors’ speed and rotation is the design key of drones, making the electronic speed control (ESC) module an added value and a fundamental part of a drone. In this article, ...

With time on my hands, I decided to try a technique that I noticed first in a L200 voltage regulator data sheet. It is fig 25 in STM’s ‘A Designer’s guide to the L200 voltage regulator’ (ST webpage ...

The MSC-1 AC Speed Controller from Oriental Motor is easy to use, connects directly to a PLC or PC and offers enhanced speed control features with feedback from the motor, while providing an alarm ...

A plan to temporarily get the milling machine going, by hooking up an external speed controller, has turned into a semi-permanent solution. I ordered a ‘DC-51’ speed controller – an enclosed ...

DC motors are used extensively in industrial variable speed applications because of most demanding speed-torque characteristics and are simple in controlling aspects. This paper presents a DC motor ...
