DC Speed Control
Dayton DC speed controls are designed to control and monitor the performance of a DC motor. These speed controls feature transient and surge suppression ability to protect a motor against sudden electrical disturbances. They are equipped with a trimpot for easy acceleration and deceleration adjustments, are packed in a rugged NEMA / Chassis / IP 30 enclosure and come with run / stop and forward / reverse switches for easy operation. Choose from a wide range of Dayton DC speed controls, available for a maximum ampere rating of 10 A on Raptor Supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operating temperature range for Dayton DC speed controls?
Dayton DC speed controls have an ambient operating temperature range of -10 to 45 degrees C.
Does the trimpot unit require any calibration post-installation?
The adjustable trimpot units are mostly factory calibrated. They can be readjusted for special cases by manually adjusting minimum / maximum / acceleration / deceleration speeds or slip compensation (Volts/Hz) of the DC control.
Why are speed controls needed in a DC motor?
In most mechanical applications, a speed control controls the device's speed fluctuation to maintain a constant (or diminishing) torque. It is designed to perform in only one permanent magnet or shunt wound DC motor.
