ServoDisk motors

Hello i want to know if its possible to Control ServoDisk motors with Arduino here is a link for the kind of motors.

Thank you

It seems as if they are just DC motors. You should check with the manufacturer whether they are suitable for PWM control and whether there is any limitation on the PWM frequencies that can be used.

Not sure if they are DC or BLCD. Is there a datasheet somewhere?

I just find this PDF

DC_KN_metrisch_e_1485.0 (1).pdf (585 KB)

Ok, says "DC". Interesting. Well, you could use a simple RC speedcontroller. If you manage to find a documentation on the "tacho", you might even be able to build a closed loop system. RC speedcontrollers call this "sensor input", but you'll need to check the datasheets.

Ok, but i want to Control it like a servo motor is that possible?

Do you mean like the hobby servos that are used in model planes and boats?

Those servos have gears to greatly reduce the speed of the output shaft compared to the motor speed and they have a potentiometer on the output shaft to provide position feedback.

How do you propose to implement all that?

Yes, and it shows two wires, one red, one black, so I think its safe to assume brushed DC.

Only if you have an encoder, a DC motor driver and program up a control loop... But yes.

This kind of motors are used by a company that prepares Cars for disabled people they Control steering and brake Aldo throttle pedals.

I think they use potentiometers to position feedback, i want to Control throttle and brake in a project but i think its beter to use rc servos maybe.

Thank you

It should be a great deal easier.
