  • AC Speed Controls

    Used to control single-phase AC motors installed in vibratory feeders, fans, pumps, and heating & lighting systems. Designed to work with permanent split-phase, universal motors or any resistive load but not equipped to handle capacitor start motors

  • DC Speed Controls

    Used to protect DC or brushless DC motors from under-voltage, over-voltage, short circuit, thermal shock and voltage transient. Feature transient voltage protection, which prolongs connected unit's life in harsh industrial environments

  • Rotary Encoders
  • Variable Frequency Drives

About Dart Controls

The company's product catalogue includes a wide range of AC and DC speed controls, pulse generators, potentiometers, tachometers and related speed control accessories. The brand's products are RoHS compliant and used in applications that require adjustable speed and constant or low speed torque. They are also free from lead, cadmium, mercury and other hazardous elements, which makes them suitable for household or industrial uses. Dart Controls DC speed controls protect DC or brushless DC motors from under-voltage, over-voltage, short circuit, thermal shock and voltage transient, which prolongs the connected unit's life in harsh industrial environments. The brand's adjustable AC voltage supplies are used to control single-phase AC motors installed in vibratory feeders, fans, pumps and heating & lighting systems. They are compatible with permanent split-phase, universal motors or any resistive load.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Dart Controls part numbers often cross-reference to various Dayton, Apollo and Schnider Electric products. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either obsolete or out of stock, chances are we have equivalent items available.

Shipping

Dart Controls products and accessories are suitable for courier shipment & air freight. They require simple packaging, depending upon the product dimensions.

Dart Controls Competitive Advantages

Dart Controls Digital Speed Pots

Dart Controls digital SCR drives are microprocessor-based closed-loop drives having a programmable digital display. Depending on the application, MicroDrive is available in two styles: the MD Series (for continuous applications) and the MD Plus Series (for start / stop or applications requiring a quick response from the drive). These drives provide information on drive speed in engineering units such as FPM, GPM, MM:SS and % of Master.

Dart Controls Digital SCR Drives

Dart Controls Digital Speed Pots are panel-mounted, multi-purpose signal conditioners that allow easy access to make adjustments to system operations. They are operatable for both AC and DC drives. The brand's Digital Speed Pots feature microcomputer-based digital potentiometers that replace conventional 3-wire analogue speed potentiometers. They can display motor velocity percentages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the use of Dart Controls pulse generator?

The brand's pulse generator monitors the speed and direction of the motor.

Why are speed controls needed in a DC motor?

In most mechanical applications, a speed control regulates the device's speed fluctuation to maintain a constant torque. It is designed to perform in only one permanent magnet or shunt wound DC motor.

What is the use of Dart Controls tachometer?

The brand's tachometer is used for measuring the angular velocity of rotating shafts in motors.
