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 ...

This handy circuit can be used as a speed controller for a 12V motor rated up to 5A (continuous) or as a dimmer for a 12V halogen or standard incandescent lamp rated up to 50W. It varies the power to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. This 8051 microcontroller-based control circuit adjusts the speed of a small permanent-magnet dc motor via photosensors ...
