DC motor controler ?

Seems to be a controller for a single phase induction (AC) motor. Not unusual for the pen pushers at RS to describe something they don't have a clue about and get it completely wrong.

Short answer - no.

And all the DKM motors listed on the RS site are described as "reversible AC induction motor" and are truly piddle power. You'd struggle to even turn a machine with them, so presumably the controller is also miniscule. Not the most informative datasheet.

Thank you for the reply Muzzer I was confused RS called it a DC controller but DKM said it was AC.

Will keep looking

The one I am using is cheetah SME 2HP input 110 /220 240 ac 16 AMPS 50/60hz output ;0.90/0.180v dc 11AMPS so it give somewhere to start carl hope this some help regards norm

Thank you Norman for the information.

Hi

More info on the end use would be useful. Assumption is mother of all misunderstanding

X1 Mill ?

The motor was fitted to a Sieg C1 lathe now to be used on a milling attachment on a Clark C1 lathe with the lathe head stock missing so the controller is not present. So I have the lathe bed with the cross slide milling attachment fitted but no controller.

Is anything that RS components sell useful to me?

I wish I knew what I was doing.

Hi Carl

Here is another link to a unit that may be useful. RS are way off with there description it is NOT AC to DC at all is is for a low power AC motor ( Extractor Fan)??? perhaps

Set up seems to be straight forward enough with the controller to match the motor.

Eric, thank you for your help but the one listed is for 110Volts I need 250Volts. I did not think that obtaining a speed controller would be so much trouble. It was my trying to get a small milling machine for little money but I am now going to purchase a machine to get me started. I have a vertical slide for my lathe but it sure has its limitations with my skills and ancillary tooling.

Hi Carl,

Here is a motor/ controller combination similar to the one posted by oldvelo. This one is rated for 240 volts and available in the UK.

Mike, That looks interesting Thank you.

Carl,

As the motor came from a Sieg mill, why not use the intended controller..? The XMT2315/230V.

Available from a Sieg dealer near you....Arceurotrade....

That way it minimises any setup issues with min/max speed settings and any overload/over current issues.

John, I have looked at purchasing from Arceurotrade but as far as I can see I would have to purchase each individual part of the controller get a case to fit them in and wire it all up. I do feel useless in having to say this but I am sure that is beyond me, take three wire from a controller unit to the motor and three wires from my socket outlet to the controller unit is probably the best I will be able to do.

I have had a second look at purchasing the parts from Arceurotrade and the total price for all the parts minus the case, internal wire and suitable connectors will be around £120.00 I have also found a wiring schematic attached it is for the Clark CL250m lathe but I am told it will be the same.

How difficult would it be the assemble and wire a controller remembering I have very little electrical knowledge.

I'm sure we can get you up and running...even if we have to do a point to point, step by step method of wiring up....

But I stress the choice is yours......!
