Hello.
I'm trying to run a 24v D/C gear motor with the ability to control RPM
between 20 - 35. Continuous operation, 9 hours per day.
50 inch oz. of torque. Looking at the Molon C15, or other type of 'gear
motor' that I can attach a nose gear to the shaft. Speed control is
mandatory.
My problem is in the controller itself. EXPENSIVE. I'm now looking into
model railroad controllers to do the job. They are bigger than the normal
KB controllers, but half the cost.
Can anyone suggest a way to control speed of a D/C motor, inexpensively? It
cannot be 'Mickey mouse' because it's part of a prototype machine I'm
building, which hopefully will sell to the public. Is it a fact of life
that it just costs to cut the voltage?
Thanks.
Gary
