LOW PROFILE 80 AMP PWM DC MOTOR SPEED CONTROL MODULE

Now with More Control Options.



PWM80 Controller

New, never used SUPER POWERFUL Pulse Width Modulation DC Motor speed controller. Only 0.9" high, to fit into small places. Smoothly regulates speed of DC Motors and other DC loads, from 0 to 100% of power. Aside from DC motors, it can be used to control brightness of DC light bulbs, temperature of heaters and heating elements, etc. Power output level is set with the enclosed potentiometer, knob is also included.

Can be powered from 12, 24, 36, or 48 Volts DC.

Uses the latest mosfets, so doesn't need a large heatsink.


This "mother of all speed controllers" is Great for regulating Powerful Loads in ROBOTICS, GOLF and KID CARTS, ELECTRIC BIKES and SCOOTERS, TROLLING MOTORS, for EXPERIMENTERS, and testing and troubleshooting DC motors.
Simple to use; just connect power, load, and the potentiometer to the screw-in terminals. The potentiometer now comes with a cable attached, so no soldering is required.

In addition to the potentiometer, this controller accepts the following Inputs:

  • Standard Industrial 10 volt pots
  • Basic Stamp 1, BS2, PIC, ooPIC or other micro via the PWMOUT command (see schematic HERE)
  • Control from the parallel port of a PC (using the same interface as the above picture)
  • and Remote Control using a R/C receiver and R/C speed control (using slightly adapted interface as in the picture above)

Here's what one of our customers said about this controller:
"By the way, it works GREAT! I made a 900watt electric razor scooter that does 20mph. It feels like 90mph when your on those tiny wheels that close to the ground."
And another user said:
"Just a note to let you know the [80-amp] PWM controller has worked perfectly in my {2} wheelchair motor powered project. It has withstood tremendous abuse and keeps on running like a swiss watch."


 

Specs:
Supply Voltage:      8 to 48 Volts DC
Load Current:        80 AMPS Continuously, with Resistance and Inductive loads
                     120 AMPS for short periods of acceleration (up to 10 sec.) 
Range of regulation: PWM 0 to 100% of power
Overheating protection: When the module is overloaded, power is automatically
decreased, in order to protect mosfets from destruction

This is NOT A KIT, this module is fully assembled as shown in the picture.
Will control loads of up to 3 KILOWATTS. Comes with instructions.

Please Note: There are 2 connections for power, and 2 connections for load, each of which has 2 screw-in terminals. That way 2 thinner wires, or a twinline can be used, instead of a single thick wire, for each lead. And these connections are marked on the bottom of the board.
