If it is a DC appliance that needs to be controlled, the module can be installed at the primary (input) side of a transformer which in turn will give a proportional output on the transformers secondary (output) side, thus allowing full control over the DC output too. Perfect for loads of power, voltage & speedcontrol applications. DC motor controllers and drives are used primarily to control motor speeds and torques for machine tools, electric vehicles, pumps, etc Servo Motor Controllers
Loads of applications! ...regulates incandescent lamps, heaters, hand drills, motors etc. via a potentiometer. Operating voltage: 110...240V~. Max. admissible current: 6 amperes (3A constant duty). At 230V~ this corresponds to 1200 / 600W and to 600 / 300W at 110V~. Using an existing drill to wind on cat gut is clearly a good idea, however buying a drill to do the job is something else.Company policy is that we do not under any circumstances issue instructions to our couriers to leave deliveries unattended when no one is at the delivery location. Single phase motors with internal centrifugal starting switches can not be speedcontrolled electronically.
This Universal AC Motor Speed Controller SELF-ASSEMBLY electronic kit is designed to control AC motors (24-240Vac, 5A) with carbon brushes (drilling machine, vacuum cleaner, saw, ...). High torque, even at low r.p.m. Note: This project is designed for brush type motors and is not suitable for induction motors or shaded pole motors. May also be used for low voltage loads (from 24V). Supply and load circuit electrically isolated from one another.PRODUCT SELECTION NOTES: The motor controller should have an output load capacity at least 25% above the motors peak power requirement. Please do NOT rely on motor rating plates for power consumption figures as they often quote average not peak power. You should verify the actual peak power at start-up and under full load before selecting an appropriate size motor controller. Bought to replace the standard resistive foot pedal controller on a vintage domestic sewing machine. MUCH better slow speed control now, will stitch at a 'stitch by stitch' slow speed with much more torque. Built a custom 470ohm foot controller to go with it, motor stays cool, module stays cool, a perfect solution for the control of a small 50w AC motor, well worth going to the trouble to build it, well happy.
Loads of applications and with a 25 amp peak rating! With this power controller you can regulate incandescent lamps, heaters, heating lelements, hand drills, electric motors etc. via the supplied potentiometer. 2 operating voltages: 110vac or 240vac. The rated contstant load is 18A but can peak at 25A max. At 240vac this corresponds to 4000va. The units are PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) type controllers. The speed may be varied using a front mounted rotary control knob, and the minimum speed can be adjusted by a side mounted adjustment trim pot.Important Note: The module HAS to be mounted on a heat sink or cooling plate if the constant load exceeds 8 amps. Reference the 3rd schematic above: https://www.electroschematics.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/motor-speed-control.gif The Powerform model MSC2400 controller provides stepless electronic speed control for single phase PSC induction motors in fan and blower applications. I have hooked this up to a 220v one horse capacitor start, drill motor. I wanted to be able to drop the minimum speed available with the pulleys. The controller does that rather well. I don't have the full range of variation available on the pot. but I presume that is because of the capacitor on the drill.
Max. admissible current: 6A (constant duty: 3A), at 110V~ this corresponds to maximally 600 watt or constant duty 300 watt, respectively, or to maximally 1200 watt or constant duty 600 watt, respectively, at 230Vac If you read the Q&A on that drill someone replies to a question asking if it has variable speed, apparently the one you get does not (as you can see it's not mentioned in the spec). Can be used as standard for three wire applications, or for two wire applications the unit must be de rated by 40 %.

Motor controllers are devices (or groups of devices) that are used to control the start, stop and speed of an electric motor. They can either be manually operated or programmed to work automatically, with possible functions including selecting the rotational direction and speed, regulating or limiting torque, and stopping or starting the motor. A motor controller helps to protect the motor itself from overloading and/or electrical faults. At RS, we have a curated range of motor controllers from industry-leading brands such as Electromen OY, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Sprint Electric, and many more. What types of motor controllers are there? There are 4 types of motor controllers AC Motor Controllers Several people have asked what component values would be required to operate on 110-120VAC, myself included! So, here is my version of this speed control for 110VAC operation. The component values that I figure need changing are those that determine the charge rate of the phase shift circuit feeding the Diac. Those would be the 3K3 resistor and the 500K pot. Both should be cut in half since only half the voltage is charging the phase shift circuit (15K and 2 x 100 nF). Given the Rs/Cs are filtering 110 vs. 220, I thought it might be a good idea to change Rs to 47 ohms and double the capacitance of Cs. Cf could also be doubled. When I bread-boarded this circuit, I noticed that the 250K pot (500K/2) was ineffective from 250K down to about 70K; measured at complete shut off, so I replaced the pot with a 100K linear pot. The circuit runs up to about 90% of full speed because the Triac doesn’t turn ON until the Diac conducts at around 30V; DB3 breakdown voltage. I used a Diac and a Triac different from the schematic, but locally available. Stepper motor controllers are very popular, they are used for accurate positioning, rotation angles and speed control in stepper motors through. Stepper motor controllers and drives are used primarily in motion control applications in manufacturing and construction environments, among other industries, and are used to control motor speeds, torques, and position. I tried different bulb sizes until I found one which kept the iron hot, but not hot enough to burn the tip. Very simple and it worked, OK today we have thermostatic soldering irons so not required any more. However the same result could have been got using a lamp dimmer, but why, better to keep it simple.
