How do I control speed and keep it constant?
Last Updated: 05/23/2014
A sophisticated control system would be required to keep the speed regulated to a tight tolerance. Utilizing an encoder feedback, the customer’s control can monitor and adjust the 0-5VDC input can be controlled <1%. This will allow the closed loop speed regulation needed for tighter tolerance speed control. Current tolerance on speed regulation for standard integrated controls is <5%. Speed can be regulated over a range of torques. This is a key benefit when comparing BLDC to brush motors.
