DC Motor Speed Controller using a LM317

Image
A very simple DC motor speed controller circuit can be constructed using a LM317 voltage regulator integrated circuit. This DC motor speed controller can be used for speed control  of mini drills or for other small DC motors. This motor controller circuit will provide a large output current. The maximum output current from the secondary turns of the transformer shout provide 1.5 times of the maximum DC output current. The output voltage and the speed (rpm) is set by the P2 variable resistor. DC Motor Speed Controller using a LM317:  As soon as the current drawn exceeds a certain value, T2 will be switched on. This results in a base current for T3 so that R5 is in parallel with R6. This automatically raise the output voltage to counter a threatened drop in rpm.  The moment at which this action occurs is set by P1.

Delayed Automatic Forward Reverse Motion of Overhead Crane Driven by a Motor

Image
This is another situation that requires the overhead crane to rest for a while  upon reaching both of the rail. After a pre-determine time the overhead crane  will re-start in the opposite direction. Control circuit of "Delay Automatic Forward Reverse Motor of an Overhead Crane" The control circuit of this system is shown Above. Two times TR1 and TR2 are connected to the limit switches Y and X respectively at terminal 3. The terminal no. 1 of the instantaneous contacts TR1(1-3) and TR2(1-3) are connected to the terminals no. 3 of the limit switch Y and X respectively. The delay contact TR1(6-8) and TR2(6-8) are connected to the contacts R(13-14) and F(13-14) respectively. Supposing the overhead crane is moving in the forward (right) direction that means, contactor F(A-B) is at energized and contactor R(A-b) is at de-energize condition. When the overhead crane reaches the right end limit and touches the limit switch Y, the contact Y(1-2) of limit switch Y will open to de-energ...

DC Motor Speed Control using PWM

Image
DC Motor Speed Control using PWM The so-called PWM or Witdh modulation is a technique often used to control a load, for example, is the control of DC motor speed PWM techniques are used frequently. Usually to make a simple PWM (for practice or the introduction PWM) fans to use some of the facts of the op-amp circuit, which consists of Schmitt Trigger circuit, the integrator and comparator. Schmitt Trigger function that produces a square wave will become the sawtooth wave or integrator is also called common rail and the ramp compared to a reference voltage that can change a lot of stress. So the result is a PWM output. These two schemes are variations of different circuit PWM. The diagrams are for 12V operation and there are upper (ground) and low side (+12 V common) versions. The version of the lower circuit uses an N-channel FET, the high-side version of the circuit uses a P-channel FET. N channel devices tend to handle more current P-channel devices, which are also less expen...

Stepper Motor Introduction

Image
Introduction: This section of tutorial will explain you everything that you need to know about stepper motors. Stepper motors can be used in various areas of your microcontroller projects such as making robots, robotic arm, automatic door lock system etc. This tutorial will explain you construction of stepper motors (unipolar and bipolar stepper motors ), basic pricipal, different controlling types (Half step and Full step), Interfacing Techniques (using ULN2003) and programming your microcontroller in C to control stepper motor.  Unipolar stepper motor The unipolar stepper motor has five or six wires and four coils (actually two coils divided by center connections on each coil). The center connections of the coils are tied together and used as the power connection. They are called unipolar steppers because power always comes in on this one pole. Bipolar stepper motor The bipolar stepper motor usually has four wires coming out of it. Unlike unipolar steppers, bipolar steppers ha...

Simplest DC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram

The effect can be eliminated by means of Ri compensation, which essentially entails measuring the motor’s current consumption, relating this to the motor’s instantaneous drop i across Ri, and increasing the supply voltage accordingly. The load current is measured as the drop across sensing resistor R3. For optimum results, this impedance must be kept about equal to that of the motor. Figure 2 shows the practical circuit of the motor driver based on a power operational amplifier . Simple DC operated motors with a permanent magnetic stator behave as an independently energized motor. The speed of an ideal motor with an, infinitely low internal resistance is in direct proportion to the voltage applied, irrespective of the torque. The motor thus runs at a speed at which its reverse electromotive force (e.m.f.) equals the supply voltage. The reverse e.m.f. is directly proportional to the force of the (constant) magnetic field , and the motor speed. In theory, therefore, the motor speed can...

Electric Motor Repair

Image
Electrical engines are a significant aspect of most large functions. They are used to make current that can be linked with a strength or to immediately petrol other systems. These engines are complicated items of professional systems and consequently it is not recommended for a individual who is not a certified fix individual to attempt to fix them. This transforms digital strength into technical strength. They come in a wide range of types and the type that you use will depend on what you need it for. The primary parts are the blades and the stator. The blades is the going aspect and the stator is the invitations aspect of it. These two items make the time frame for it. Most engines are attractive in characteristics. Both the blades and the stator generate a attractive area which makes a twisting, or demand on the powerplant base and makes the revolving of the powerplant. This is how it functions. Finding a reliable serviceman for your powerplant can be a complicated procedure. The cr...
