I have a 3 horsepower 110vDC motor from a treadmill machine. That will likely require some very stout components to operate it!

thanks for your advices...

That is exactly what they are for. Normal consumer grade stuff uses 1-2HP. The PWMs that drive it use 50A IGBTs, though the continuous current is limited to 15-25A depending on the unit.

This circuit was built to operate a small motor used for opening and closing a pair of curtains. As an advantage over automatic closing and opening systems, you have control of how much, or how little light to let into a room. The four diodes surriunding the motor, are back EMF diodes. They are chosen to suit the motor. For a 12V motor drawing 1amp under load, I use 1N4001 diodes.

You should just put the two LEDs anti parallel, as it stands you are breaking the unlit one down. They typically have a 5V reverse breakdown rating.

And you need to change the 1N4001s to schottkys. 1N4001s are slow diodes that are not worth anything far beyond line frequency.

hey its really nice to be a member...
can you help to build an driver of the step motor (8 coils), to control the direction of torque if the motor

hi am have a project to design treadmill
and i hope to know how i can do the PWM controlling by the PIC microcontoller? and if i can use the same circuit which added in ur replay

anthony123 · 15th October 2007, 05:29 PM

that circuit is well know here in Latinoamerica... but we prefer use a PWM with el dual timer 556..

Hi,

Can anyone give me the PWM circuit of CD motor control with all the component value. I was looking for the snubber circuit and the MOSFET used.

Regards,
Bency

Did anyone know how i can use thyristor (SCR) as power switch to drive a 12VDC Motor and LDR to control the direction?? Please help me for my project. Thanks.

You can't, there is no way to conveniently turn it off.

If you visit the Robotics Section in this site there are about 100 topics regarding line followers/ light followers.

They are using this input sensors ex:LDR & IR in their robots.Also have plenty posts regarding how to control a speed of a motor.
