siliXcon Dual Motor Control

A Solution for Specific Applications

When designing electric drives, it is crucial to choose a solution that meets the needs of a specific application. One option that proves to be effective in certain situations is the double motor controller – a dual controller capable of efficiently operating motors with two windings. 🔧

How Does a Dual Motor Control Work?

A double brushless motor controller is most commonly used in systems where it is necessary to control two separate motors or a motor with two independent windings. This principle is often utilized in axial motors, such as the PMS series from Pohlbock Industries. These motors feature a sandwich structure – two windings on the sides and a rotor in the middle. ⚙️

Using a dual controller setup allows for doubling the output current, leading to an increase in torque and motor power. This solution is particularly attractive for applications where increasing voltage is not possible or desirable. 🚀

Advantages of a Dual Motor Controller ✅

• Increased Power – By controlling two windings in parallel, it is possible to efficiently scale the output power and torque, while keeping the voltage at the safe level. ⚡️
• Utilisation of Existing Batteries – Allows the system to remain at low voltage while using the existing battery in the vehicle. It is also possible to use 2 separate batteries for easier manipulation and higher value added for the user (lower weight – easy to manipulate, different charge levels) 🔋
• Higher Safety – Lower voltage reduces risks when working with electrical systems. Dual system increases the overall reliability and redundancy o the system. 🛡️
• Flexibility for Specific Applications – Enables performance optimization for particular motor types and drive systems. 🔄

Disadvantages of a Double Motor Controller ⚠️

• Need for Special Components – Additional elements such as contactors may be required for proper functionality. 🛠️
• Requirement for Synchronized Rotor Position Signal – Ensuring synchronization between controllers is essential for proper motor operation. 🎯

Is a Double Controller the Right Choice for You? 🤔

A double Brushless Motor Controller is not a universal solution, but it can be highly effective in specific cases. If you need to increase power while maintaining low voltage and safety, it could be the right choice for your system. However, it is essential to consider the potential drawbacks and technical requirements. 💡
