Speed Control Systems

Speed Control Systems allow you to easily set and adjust the speed of a motor. The control system consists of a speed feedback system, a motor, a driver (or speed controller) and a speed setting device. The more for the speed control system is either a Brushless Motor or an AC Motor.

Brushless Motor Systems

Brushless motors provide energy savings. Since the efficiency is higher than for an inverter-driven three-phase motor, the electricity consumption is greatly reduced. In addition, brushless motors are smaller and more powerful than AC motors and save space. Brushless motors also provide constant torque from low speed to high speed.

Wide Speed Control Range

Because of the different motor structure and control method, the speed control range of the brushless motor is wider than that of the AC speed control motor. Thanks to its flat torque characteristics, the brushless motor can be used over the entire speed range from low to high, even when the load fluctuates.

Compact Yet Powerful

The compact yet powerful motor incorporates permanent magnets in the motor rotor. Compare with an AC motor having a frame size of 3.54 in. (90 mm), a brushless motor of the same specifications is 2.95 in. (75 mm) shorter and offers 1.3 times more output. The compact motor structure lets you downsize your equipment.

Excellent Speed Stability, Flat Torque

The specified speed is compare against the feedback signal to adjust the motor supply voltage and frequency, in order to stabilize the speed. This mechanism ensures that the motor drives at stable speed over its entire speed range from low to high, even when the load condition fluctuates.

Brushless Speed-Torque Characteristics

Energy Saving

Brushless motor, which incorporate permanent magnets in the rotor, generate little secondary loss from the rotor. At an output power of 1/12 HP (60 W), for example, the power consumption of the BLF Series is approximately 23% less than that of an inverter-controller AC motor, which enables the energy-saving operation of your equipment.

Electronic-Input Control

Brushless motor systems are available with electronic-input control. The driver can be connected directly to a programmable controller. As the motor requires no power relays, there is no need for periodic service or replacement of relays. this makes the machine highly reliable. Moreover, the time required to set up the motor is greatly reduced. Removing the relays eliminates the spark noise during opening and closing of the relay contact points.

AC Motor Systems

Oriental Motor offers four different series of AC speed control. Select the best system based upon your application requirements.

  • Multiple functions, 200 W (1/4 HP) speed control system with conformance to global power supply voltages - BHF Series
  • Speed controller that enables speed control to be set easily with a built-in digital display - FE100/FE200
  • Compact speed controller - ES01/ES02
  • Easy connection, easy handling - US Series
