DC Brushed Motor Driver Question for PMDC

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

Hello All
Basic question. I want to drive an old Pittman Brushed DC (PMDC) motor from Labview using an Analog Out for a controls education lab. I can spin the motor fine from a lab power supply. I want to close the loop in Labview software. Obviously the Analog Out cannot supply enough current so I’ll need a power Amplifier between the AO and the PMDC. I cannot find one of these anywhere. EVERYTHING is PWM motor controllers. What options do I have? It seems like I need something crazy simple. Vin=Vout with a boost in current. That is all. Thanks for the Help

I’m looking at the Syren 10A driver as a possibility, but I’m not sure the nature of the signal going to the PMDC.

Hi Jason,

Welcome to our forums! The Syren 10A is probably exactly what you need. Your PMDC motor works on a normal DC power source, correct? And the rated voltage of the motor is between 6V-24V?

With the Syren, you can the analog output to produce a signal between 0-5V and the Syren will change the speed of the motor between stopped and the max speed which will be determined by the voltage of your power supply.

Is this what you are looking for?
