Can anyone please point me to a web page that has the schematic of a speed control circuit with these features ?
- It should be analog, not microprocessor-based. No tachometer.
- The motor will be a mains-operated brushed DC type of
- It doesn't have to be super-precise, but should be somewhat more sophisticated and precise than a typical drill speed control with an SCR plus four or five passive components.
- It should have a good starting torque as the load will be permanently coupled.
- Speed control range should be roughly from one-third to two-thirds of the full rated speed.
- If possible, I'd like to avoid dedicated speed control ICs even if they're analog.
I'll probably be able to adapt a good general design to my particular requirements. I'm not entirely clueless about the theory, but rather long out of touch with practical designing. I have searched with Google, but the two dozen or so results I checked did not have what I need. Thanks in advance for any help.
