DAYTON 4Z527 DC Speed Control, Enclosed, NEMA 1, 2A Max., 0 to 90/180V DC, On/Off

Dayton 4Z527 DC motor speed control is ideal for precise speed regulation of DC motors, enhancing operational efficiency and optimising performance. This Dayton DC motor controller is used in the manufacturing, automation, robotics and automotive industries, where maintaining consistent and controlled motor speeds are crucial for conveyor systems, machinery operation and equipment automation.

Working Mechanism:

• The DC speed control unit interfaces with both the DC power supply and the motor. By manipulating the control settings, users can effectively modulate the voltage supplied to the motor.
• The control module precisely alters the voltage output destined for the motor. Diminishing the voltage yields a reduced motor speed, whereas elevating it yields swifter rotation.
• Alterations in the supplied motor voltage promptly correspond to changes in motor speed. This correlation facilitates seamless and precise adjustments of the motor's rotational velocity, tailored to the specific task.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the operating temperature of Dayton 4Z527 DC speed control?

A. It has operating temperatures ranging from -10 to 45 degrees C.

Q. Can this Dayton DC motor speed control be overloaded?

A. It can withstand an overload capacity of 200% of the rated capacity for 1 minute.

Q. What is the recommended minimum wire size for interconnection between the control and motor?

A. For optimal performance and safety, it is advised to use an aluminium wire size of 16 AWG minimum for control input lines. This ensures efficient signal transmission and reliable operation within the system.

Q. Is it important to use a fuse with this Dayton SCR controller?

A. Yes, as a direct current (DC) motor is capable of generating a starting torque that can reach up to 600% of its full load rating. To safeguard against ongoing overloads, it is recommended to incorporate a line fuse. This fuse serves as a protective measure for accurate and suitable fuse sizing, to ensure optimal protection and system integrity.
