1064 - PhidgetMotorControl HC $120.00
back to product menuProduct Description
The PhidgetMotorControl HC allows you to control the angular velocity and acceleration of up to two high-current DC motors.
Many variations of brushed DC motors exist: permanent magnet motors, electromagnet motors, coreless motors, linear motors... the PhidgetMotorController can be used with any of these, as well as other devices like small solenoids, incandescent light bulbs, and hydraulic or pneumatic devices like small pumps and valves.
Product Features
• Control the velocity and acceleration of up to two high-current DC motors
• Requires an external 6 to 15VDC external power supply
• USB port is isolated from the motor control outputs
• Connects directly to a computer’s USB port.
