can you run 9 volts through a hossen speed controller then to the motor to control the rpm's?

If the input is 9 volts and the output of the speed controller is still a Variable 1 to 9 volts then if you exceed the approximate 3 volt rating of the stock motor, you will burn the motor out. If you can regulate from 1 volt to 3 volts MAXIMUM voltage output, then you should be OK.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. My 13-year-old grandson used the motor for a school project--to make a light revolve in the window of a lighthouse. Neither of us knew anything about electric motors before or after he used it for his project. It worked great until some kid got into the classroom when the teacher wasn't there and destroyed it.

I have it running on 110. As I understand it, it is designed to replace the manual hi/lo fan and pump switch and I use it in that capacity. According to the link in Amazon to this item, it works on "2 speed 1/3 - 1 HP motors 115V/230V" Basically it gives you thermostatic control over what was previously just a fan/pump switch. It works well.

Yes you can but you have to have electrical skills. You can control the speed of the motor buy putting a reostate on the power cord. A cheap light dimmer can be used if you have electrical skills. Once it's installed you can control the motor speed which will control the succion.

No this is not speed controllable, most single phase motors are not speed controllable as they have an internal start switch that is governed by the motor speed, so you can't slow it down or you will burn it up.

You would probably need some crazy electronic skills to pull it off. Getting the voltage down to around 14v, having something control through electronic speed controller, etc

I would use a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) instead... to regulate the rpm of the motor. Here is an excellent video detailing what you need to do install/setup a VFD to an AC Motor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23lwqq9uGg4

Doubtful. Looks like this controller uses a Triac to clip the AC sine wave to control the motor speed. The solid state controller's power supply could get messed up with the clipped sine wave. Personally I wouldn't try it.

This control will not work with slow statting motor! I believe my answer is no.

It says to use 3 volts. I have mine running a little robot set to 5 volts with no issue. The added power changes the final speed because the motor goes faster. It also gets hot quicker. So you can use it with 9 volts, but it will shorten the life of the motor.

No you cannot the powerhead plugs directly into the controller with a 12vdc plug. If you split it both pumps would decrease in speed severely

you can use it with just the motor but if your going to use it with the stock speed control that it comes with it you can only run 2s lipo

Dear MKJ. Yes this (TM) 12-40V 10A will work with your Motor 12V DC 37mm. that it's because the speed control works with PWM (Pulse Wave Modulation). About the power supply your motor Amp Draw 600 mA. So you need 12*0.6 =7.2 Watts @ motor. If you are using only one motor a power supply of 12 Watts will be O.K. Please replace the fuse with the current rating if you are using one motor 1 Amp. slow acting will be O.K..Your friend V. Perez

The short answer is "no" assuming you've found the 2 speed switch that changes the speed range from about 2 miles an hour to 4. The motor speed is a function of the battery voltage and load (how much the loaded vehicle weighs and whether it's on a hill) and that limits your options. In theory you could spend a lot of money and change out the small transmission or put different range motors in, but those aren't practical options unless you have a small machine shop.

I don't think that the 9rpm setup will do it. I tried using the 9 rpm setup geared down and then further reduced with a belt drive to power a set of small backyard windmill blades on a bearing setup, but the motor fried on the first try.

Yes. I hooked it up to an Arduino that controls the voltage to the motor (using a transistor) to vary its speed.

If you need to run it slower than 9rpm, you could set up a pwm circuit and adjust it slower, but I wouldn't use any higher voltage to run it faster than 88. Use the pwm circuit and the different gear ratios to adjust in between, you will, however have the most torque at the 9rpm gearing.

It has a 3 step. You could run a speed controler but with basic a understanding of electricity the motor may not run well or last long.. I personally removed the "stock" comptroller and wired in my own.
