The circuit in the figure provides three levels of speed control for a dc motor, using a PC’s parallel port (LPT1). A C++ program performs the control functions by allowing the signals from the PC ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

Brushless DC motors are common place in RC Vehicles. They are small, light, fast and can be inexpensive. [Raynerd] wanted a new spindle for his CNC machine and thought that a brushless DC motor would ...

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 ...

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 ...

By maxon The new 22mm diameter BLDC motor in maxon’s ECX PRIME series increases nominal torque to 69.1mNm with high-speed ...

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 ...
