Dear MKJ. Yes this (TM) 12-40V 10A will work with your Motor 12V DC 37mm. that it's because the speed control works with PWM (Pulse Wave Modulation). About the power supply your motor Amp Draw 600 mA. So you need 12*0.6 =7.2 Watts @ motor. If you are using only one motor a power supply of 12 Watts will be O.K. Please replace the fuse with the current rating if you are using one motor 1 Amp. slow acting will be O.K..Your friend V. Perez

Yes to both questions. The controller can handle up to 10 amps. For your supply you need one that supplies 12 volts and enough current (amps) to turn the motor. 600 ma should be enough for your HOSSEN® 30RPM Mini Gear Box Electric Motor. You can use any 12 Volt 1 amp supply available from Amazon.

Hello Edmund,Thank you for the inquiry.Yes, the Prodigy will definitely work with electric brakes, but it is also designed to work with electric over hydraulic brakes as some controllers are not designed for that purpose.Have a great day!

For the configuration that we used it in (lego helecopter 7345) this is a single speed setup. There are gearing options that allow you to use it for different functions on the same application; IE rotor blades on one function and winch on another. These functions are switched with a simple gear box that is created with the parts/pieces provided in the kit. For our application there was only the single speed. However, there may be an option with other kits that provide a "speed controller" or other type of motor speed regulator but they are not included in this kit. - Steven G

To: Terry PikeWhen I built mine I did all the lighting and the Bussard motors myself. I just got a couple of HO train electric motors (which were about $12.00 each) and wired them to a small voltage regulator. I run the motors on about 4 to 4.5 volts to get the correct speed. The motors themselves are about 2 inches long and about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, so they fit nicely into the front of the nacelles. I left the whole Bussard assembly loose so that I can take it out and make repairs if necessary. The way the ring assembly snaps into place with the three supports on the bottom of the nacelle makes this easy to do.Hope this is helpful to you.

No, the rocker switch will be activating the relay, the relay handles all of the power. So, very little power will be actually going thru the rocker switch. This way, you can keep the large amp wire a short as possible, and not have it running thru your switch. You can use pretty much any 12v switch to activate the relay, just be careful not to overload the relay. I would suggest only pushing about 20 or 25 amps thru a 30/40 amp relay. But that's just me, I don't like pushing electronics to their limit.

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

Sergey---The Proxxon transformer sold in the USA is 110v input, and 12v output to match the several 12 volt tools available from Prox as well as others. The rheostat/rpm control is the yellow knob, the 12v outlets are in a row across the front, the on-off rocker switch on the right front, and holes for small rotary bits on top. I do not know what is being sold in Europe or Asia.... I use mine everyday for long periods, and like it very much. Please note that this transformer and its tools are meant for light-to-medium work, as would be done in a hobby setting for model ships and trains, gourd carving, etc. I hope this helps you...

it has been used on motorbikes for sure. It just needs to be in amp mode. If you're doing parasitic load, then you're focused on DC Amps. The 117 has up to 6, while the 88 has up to 10. I don't see a big issue as you're just doing parasitic, not actual use. If anything actually pulls more than 6, you'll blow the internal fuse and have to replace it, but that's about it. Shouldn't be a problem(I've just tested mine on my car and it works).

It all depends on the type of DC motor you use.If the motor will run directly from DC power source, such as a small battery, in both directions (by reversing + and -) then it will also work in both directions with controller. I am using this controller with dad switch. HOWEVER THE SWITCH TO CHANG POLARITY NEEDS TO BE PLACED BETWEEN CONTROLLER OUTPUT AND MOTOR. IT WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK IF DPDT SWITCH IS PLACED BETWEEN POWER SOURCE AND CONTROLLER. I MYSELF DID FIND A DC MOTOR THAT THANKS WORKS VERY WELL.I CAN CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF SHAFT WITH DPDT SWITCH AND VERY THE SPEED IN EITHER DIRECTION WITH THE CONTROLER. I HOPE THIS HELPS.

I have a 2003 Monaco Diplomat with a build in EMS system which allows the coach to be run on 50 amp, and with an adapter, on both 30 or 20 amp. I have confirmed that the EMSHW50C operates perfectly fine on 50 and 30 amp. I have not yet tested it on 20 amp, but I suspect that It will work just fine.

Yes, speed setting limits max speed. Don't know if it affects torque output as well. May be useful if you have a heavy trigger finger, control is good at any setting.
1842166
Yes, hard to find the torque. Finally found it: Variable-speed motor (0-800-RPM) delivers up to 122-in-lbs torque
2056381
Yes. I used a variable voltage dc power supply to change the rpms up or down. Runs fine from 3-12volt input.

I would not recommend using an AC router speed controller. I have a controller like this, and it works fine on my router, but you don't want to starve a big motor like the Grizzley G2905. Your best bet is to get two 4-step pulleys with 5/8" bore, the sort of setup I see on my Sears bench drill. The motor would best be mounted on a hinged baseplate that has some kind of spring tensioner. It would only take a few seconds to move the drive belt from a higher ratio pair of pulley grooves to a lower one, and vice versa. Your slowest speed (and most power) sees the belt in the smallest pulley segment at the motor end, and the biggest segment at the machine end, which you probably already know.

I don't own the Proxxon variable power supply but my best educated guess is- since both speed controllers are essentially the same electronics i.e, cutting off the rectified AC wave cycle at a particular point in time, either the motor or the power supply dial must be turned all the way up and the other dial used as speed control. You should also be able to set lower ranges of speeds of the motor if the power supply dial is set to something less than its full voltage therefore creating a lower speed range available with the motor control dial.Hope this helps. Be safe and please wear those safety glasses at all times when using this tool !

A two speed control works, but a variable speed control does not. I tried a variable control with no luck.

YES, it works great, but you don't need to use the 18v output. I've been using mine in a standard 9v output, thereby saving you a spot for another 9v pedal. I've seen other people with several various ways to connect it, but, it's so simple, just use ONE 9v input. Enjoy your new EQ.
