• Designed to control permanent magnet DC motors
• Features cooling fan to blow air across the board
• 10-pin dual-row header
Robot Power introduces the ''OSMC'' 160A, 13V to 36V Motor Controller. It is a high-power H-bridge circuit designed to control permanent magnet DC motors. It was designed expressly as a motor control for robot combat in competitions such as BattleBots and the like. However the attributes of a controller for such an environment are suitable for a wide range of commercial or industrial motor control applications. The OSMC can drive a wide variety of motors and other loads and is easy to mount and interface to a variety of microcontroller units. Unlike most motor controls the OSMC does not use a heavy heat sink to extract heat from the MOSFETs. Rather, it uses a cooling fan to blow air across the board. This removes heat more quickly than a plate type heat sink and has lower weight. The fan itself is a commonly available 80mm square computer cooling fan. Either a 12v or 24v fan may be installed on the OSMC. Mounting holes are provided at the correct spacing to mount the fan directly over the MOSFETs for maximum cooling efficiency.
