3 easy to build speed controller circuits for dc motors are presented here one using mosfet irf540 second using ic 555 and the third concept with ic 556 featuring torque processing.
Dc motor speed controller circuit.
When the wiper arm of potmeter vr1 is in top position capacitor c1 charges through r1 r2 and d1 and produces a pulse train at the output of ic1 with long negative and short positive pulse widths.
This motor speed controller uses a single ic lm1014 to control the speed of a dc motor.
It is basically a pwm pulse width modulated motor driver that incorporates two separate stages for the generation of the pulses.
The ic then increases the motor voltage so that the original speed is recovered.
Many dc motor speed control circuits have been published here but this is the first one using ne555 timer ic.
A pwm circuit based on timer ne555 is the heart of this circuit.
Dc motor may be a purely inductive load so if you would like to regulate the speed of the dc motor then we ve to upper lower the voltage for higher lower speeds.
But in practically higher voltage and lower voltage isn t that sort of possible so during this case we use another sort of method which is named pwm better.
It senses the increase in the motor current when the rotation of the motor slows down due to a load.
In addition to controlling the motors speed its direction of rotation can be also changed using this circuit.
An external variable dc voltage source is effectively translated into a varying pwm signal.
P1 potentiometer varies the speed of the motor.
A circuit which enables a user to linearly control the speed of a connected motor by rotating an attached potentiometer is called a motor speed controller circuit.
The proposed circuit can be considered almost a perfect dc motor speed controller.

On the other hand when the wiper arm of vr1 is at the bottom position c1 charges through r1 r2 and vr1 and discharges via r2.
Mainly we are getting to find out how the circuit works and what s about the pwm signal.
