Oriental Motor Co., Ltd. offers a wide variety of speed control motors. Our speed control motor packages
include the motor, the driver (controller), and a potentiometer which allows for easy speed control adjustment.
There are three speed control motor product groups. The "AC speed control motor unit" that uses the most
popular single-phase capacitor-run induction motor, the small and highly efficient "Brushless DC motor unit",
and the "Inverter unit" that combines a three-phase induction motor with a small inverter. This article explains
the structure, principle of speed control and the features of each product group, and our standard products are
introduced.
Introduction
A large number of motors are being used for general
purposes in our surroundings from house-hold
equipment to machine tools in industrial facilities. The
electric motor is now a necessary and indispensable
source of power in many industries. The function and the
performance required for these motors are wide-ranging.
When focusing attention on the speed control segment of
the motor market, servo and stepping motors control
their speed with a pulse train, while the induction motor
and the brushless DC motor control speed with an
external resistor and/or DC voltage.
This article explains the structure, the speed control
principle, and the features of the following three product
groups that can control the speed relatively easily by
using an analog input.
