Motor Controllers and Control Units

Motor controllers are devices that regulate the speed, direction, and torque of electric motors, ensuring precise and efficient control in a wide range of applications, from industrial machinery to electric vehicles. They achieve this by adjusting the voltage, current, or frequency of the power supplied to the motor, which enables fine control over the motor's performance. Key functions of motor controllers include starting and stopping the motor, controlling its speed, and protecting it from issues like overloads or short circuits. Advanced motor controllers often feature programmable settings and feedback mechanisms, allowing for real-time adjustments based on sensor data. This flexibility and control make motor controllers essential for achieving high efficiency, safety, and durability in motor-driven systems. dryve® motor drive controllers from igus® make integration as simple as possible by eliminating the need for any programming without sacrificing functionality. There are options for controlling DC, stepper, and brushless DC (BLDC) motors, each of which can be paired with our drylin® linear systems to create a complete solution.
