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 be held constant with a constant supply voltage. The speed reduction observed in practice arises from the voltage drop across the internal resistance, Ri, of the armature winding. Thus, when the motor is loaded, its current consumption, and hence Vai, increases, reducing the effective supply voltage.
The Type Ll65 £rom SGS can supply up to 3 A at a maximum supply voltage of 36 and is therefore eminently suitable for the present applications. cation. Capacitors C1 and Cz suppress noise on the reverse e.m.f. from the motor.
The basic set-up of the supply required here is shown in Fig. l.

In· fact, this calls for a voltage source with a negative output impedance, since it caters for a higher output voltage when the . load is increased.

Due care should be taken, however, in so l extending the circuit, because this readily leads to instability. The motor itself already forms a fairly complex load, since the revolving rotor winding is mainly inductive, and the rotor itself represents a fairly large capacitance.

Two Basic Motor Speed Controllers

Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. They exploit the fact that the rotational speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the mean value of its supply voltage. The first schema shows how variable voltage speed control can be obtained via a potentiometer (VR1) and compound emitter follower (Q1 & Q2). With this arrangement, the motor’s DC voltage can be varied from 0V to about 12V. This type of schema gives good speed control and self-regulation at medium to high speeds but very poor low-speed control and slow starts. The second schema uses a switchmode technique to vary motor speed.

Circuit diagram:

Fig.1: a very simple motor speed controller based on a compound emitter follower (Q1 & Q2).

Here a quad NOR gate (IC1) acts as a 50Hz astable multivibrator that generates a rectangular output. The mark-space ratio of the rectangular waveform is fully variable from 20:1 to 1:20 via potentiometer VR1. The output from the multivibrator drives the base of Q1, which in turn drives Q2 and the motor. The motor’s mean supply voltage (integrated over a 50Hz period) is thus fully variable with VR1 but is applied in the form of high-energy "pulses" with peak values of about 12V.

Fig.2: this slightly more complicated schema gives better low speed control and higher torque.

This type of schema gives excellent full-range speed control and gives high motor torque, even at very low speeds. Its degree of speed self-regulation is proportional to the mean value of the applied voltage. Note that for most applications, the power transistor (Q2) in both diagram will need to be mounted on an appropriate heatsink.
