Fall River, MA -- Maxon's new DECV 50/5 is a compact, digital, velocity controller designed for controlling brushless motors up to 250 watts equipped with hall sensors. The controller has a speed range of 1,000 to 60,000 RPM for 2-pole motors. Requiring a supply voltage of 12 to 50 V DC, the controller can deliver 95% of the supply voltage to the motor at 5 A continuous current or 10 A peak current. Velocity and torque can be controlled via a 0 to 5 V signal or via external potentiometers.

Enable, direction, and stop inputs may be activated via external switches. There is also a ready output as well as speed and current monitor outputs. Weighing in at approximately 180 g (6.3 oz) and measuring 95 X 85.5 X 24 mm (3.7 X 3.4 X 1 in), the ambient operating temperature range of the amplifier is 0 to 45 degrees C (32 to 113 degrees F).
