Utilisé pour contrôler la vitesse d'un moteur CC de tapis roulant avec un pont diode. Fait bien le travail !

This voltage controller is doing a nice job of running the DC treadmill motor that I retrieved out of a scrapped treadmill. I am using it to power a drum sander that I built. The only issues I had was that the potetiometer wires came unsoldered . They are very thin, and separated from the body of the potetiometer. I resoldered them on and it works fine now.

I used this voltage reducer to make my treadmill-motor-powered wood lathe. even with a 3 1/4 hp dc motor on it, it works great!

Got this for my treadmill to control the motor since the motor control board went out on it and they wanted a fortune to replace it. There is a YouTube video on how to do this. Took my 10 mins to wire in. No soldering required. Has been working great for months without a problem. Would buy again.

The triac seemed to malfunction, which ended up burning my treadmill motor. Started off good, but lasted about 2 weeks.

The controller had a small fan incorporated in the housing to aid in cooling. I changed out the potentiometer to one with less resistance which gave me better control of motor speed. Happy with the performance. Good delivery time.

I've bought one of these from another brand that looks almost exactly identical, but the difference is huge. This motor speed controller actually works and works well!. The output voltage is a bit rough, but I have the parts and know how to clean up the signal. It does work out of box regardless! Very much a great value

I just wanted to build a variable speed controller for my shop, cheaper than buying an assembled product. This has saved my from purchasing individual new costly AC power tools. I recommend this item if you want to construct a variable speed controller for AC applications

I used this SCR to run a treadmill motor for a broken Delta mechanical VS wood lathe and added a few extra components to make it work properly, put together in the order below and it worked perfect the motor was silky smooth.SCR, 15 amp breaker, A/C choke, 50 amp bridge rectifier, D/C choke, DPDT switch (for reverse) and motor. I got this info DazeCars on youtube , check it out.Also there were some reviews that tested the SCR and reported them defective because there was no change of voltage when testing the SCR with a multimeter (In or out) when adjusting the pot. I did this and though I had a bad SCR but in order to see a voltage change you must hook it up to something and then measure. Hope this may help.

THIS CONTROLLER RUNS SMOOTH ON MY TREADMILL DC MOTOR! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY IT! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR WIRINGS ARE CORRECT OR ELSE THE SPEED CONTROLLER WOULD GET BURNT! I 1000% RECOMMEND THIS SELLER! THEIR PRODUCTS ARE ALWAYS NEW AND WORKING LIKE A CHARM!

I bought this because I wanted a sander that I could control the speed of rotation. I had an old table saw that was an instant-on, 5,000 rpm model and that was too much speed. So, instead of buying a belt sander I got this for over $100 cheaper and I could use my 10" round metal base with a stick-on sanding disc that I had previously bought. Works great and makes that crappy table saw useful again! Instructions if needed: 1. Look at unit. 2) Left side (labeled input) and right side (labeled output.) 3) Figure out where to mount it. 4) Cut, trim and attache wires (see item 2.) 5) Mount (to table saw) with double sided tape (no holes to mount with but using tape works great!) 6) Marvel at how well it works when you turn the knob.
