Brushed DC motor controllers provide precise speed and direction control for standard DC motors, making them essential for robotics, automation, and motion control projects. These devices range from compact, low-current shields for small-scale applications to high-power units capable of driving heavy loads with peak currents exceeding 100 amps. Many support multiple input methods including USB, serial, PWM, RC, and analogue signals, offering flexibility for integration with microcontrollers or standalone operation.
Key considerations include continuous and peak current ratings, voltage range, control interfaces, and physical connectivity options such as screw terminals or pin headers. Some models feature built-in protection against overcurrent and overheating, along with regenerative braking for improved efficiency. Enclosures and cooling accessories are available to enhance durability and thermal performance in demanding environments.
