Low-Voltage DC Motor Speed Controls (12 & 24V) for PMDC Gearmotors and Motors

Bodine Electric Company developed four new stock models to provide simple and reliable speed control for low-voltage 12 or 24V PMDC gearmotor and motor applications (up to 1/3 HP / 250 Watts).

New 12 and 24 VDC Speed Controls for PMDC Gearmotors (quick connect or terminal block)

The controls utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to insure quiet operation, low operating temperature and optimal brush life. The controls feature five trim pots to adjust min/max speed, torque (current) limit, and acceleration.  In addition, DIP switches allow the user to easily match a motor/gearmotor to these controls. System speed may be controlled with a single-turn speed pot, or an isolated 0-5 VDC remote signal. Models are available with either ¼-inch quick connect tabs or a plug-in terminal block.

Our new type WPM low-voltage controls are competitively priced and are ideal for portable or remote applications where connection to an AC line is not possible. Typical applications include accessories on electric vehicles, mobile medical equipment, solar powered devices, chemical injection pumps at oil wells and automatic gate openers.
