How can I reduce my 12v motor speed?
If you want to reduce rpm without compromising speed regulation then use a voltage regulator or PWM controller to lower the motor voltage. If you also want higher torque then use a gearbox (which increases torque by the same proportion as it reduces shaft rpm).
How do you slow the RPM of a motor?
A couple of things you can do:
- Use gears to change ratio of speed, which is what you’re going to do.
- Use a stepper motor, which are commonly used for high-torque, low RPM applications.
- Find some sort of PWM control circuit to slow it down, although you probably won’t be able to get it down to 5-10RPM.
How do gears slow down a motor?
Say you’re driving at 40mph in fifth gear and approaching a traffic light. If you want to slow down gradually, take your foot off the accelerator and switch to a lower gear, such as second or third (remembering to rev-match as you downshift). This will slow the car down without you having to touch the brakes.
How does a 12V motor control work?
Switch on the power supply and read the voltage value on the Multimeter – If the reading is positive, then the power supply output connected to the Multimeter red lead is the positive terminal
