What is a DC Motor Controller Board?

A DC motor controller board is a device that can control the position, speed or torque of a DC motor. There are many control board to choose from, from brushed and brushless to universal, all of which allow the operator to set the desired motor behavior through their mechanisms.

The torque curve of DC motors is inverse linear, which means that their torque decreases proportionally as the speed of the motor increases. This makes them easy to control with programmable motor controllers, as reducing their speed increases their torque and vice versa.

Tecoo offers a variety of DC motor controller board options that exceed industry standards. A DC motor controller board controls the position, speed or torque of a DC powered motor and is easily reversed so that the DC current runs in the opposite direction. Enjoy higher starting torque, quick starts and stops, commutation, shifting with voltage input, and more. Select technology type, input voltage, output voltage, continuous current, housing, brake type, commutation type and isolation.

DC motor speed control is probably the most commonly used operation in a DC control board. This speed can be controlled in four different ways: flux change, armature voltage change, supply voltage change, and pulse width modulation (PWM). PWM is a technique commonly used to implement speed control in DC motors. It delivers energy through a series of pulses rather than a continuous signal. By varying the pulse width, the DC motor controller board is able to adjust the energy flow to be consistent.
