The
Sabertooth Dual 25A 6V-24V Regenerative Motor Driver
is one of the most versatile, efficient and easy to use motor drivers on the market. It is suitable for high powered robots - up to 100lbs in combat or 300lbs for general purpose robotics.
Out of the box, the
Sabertooth
can supply two brushed DC motors with up to 25A continuously. Peak currents of 50A per channel are achievable for a few seconds.
Overcurrent and thermal protection means you'll never have to worry about killing the driver with accidental stalls or by hooking up a motor.
Sabertooth
allows you to control two motors with: analog voltage, radio control, serial and packetized serial. You can build many different robots of increasing complexity for years to come with a
Sabertooth
.
Sabertooth
has independent speed + direction operating modes, making it the ideal driver for differential drive (tank style) robots and more.
The operating mode is set with the onboard DIP switches so there are no jumpers to lose. The
Dimension Engineering Sabertooth Dual 25A Regenerative Motor Driver
features screw terminal connectors - making it possible for you to build a robot without even soldering.
Sabertooth
is the first synchronous regenerative motor driver in its class. The regenerative topology means that your batteries get recharged whenever you command your robot to slow down or reverse.
Sabertooth
also allows you to make very fast stops and reverses - giving your robot a quick and nimble edge.
Sabertooth
has a built in 5V BEC that can provide power to a microcontroller or R/C receiver. The lithium cutoff mode allows
Sabertooth
to operate safely with lithium ion and lithium polymer battery packs - the highest energy density batteries available.
Sabertooth
's transistors are switched at ultrasonic speeds (32kHz) for silent operation.
Applications:
Combat robots up to 100lb
Normal and hobby robots up to 300lb
Differential drive robots
Electric vehicles, ride-on toys, scooters
Easy speed/direction control for pumps, conveyors, automation and any application that uses two brushed DC motors
