Cytron 40Amp 10V-45V Smart Drive DC Motor Driver Up to 80A
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Cytron 40A motor driver, officially known as the Cytron Smart Drive 40Amp, is an enhanced version of the popular MDS40A. Designed to drive medium to high power brushed DC motors, it handles an impressive 40A continuously and up to 80A at peak, making it a high current motor driver suitable for demanding applications.
Supporting a wide voltage range of 10V–45V, it operates quietly thanks to 16kHz PWM switching, eliminating the typical whining sound. Packed with smart features including thermal protection, current limiting, and versatile input modes like RC (Radio Control), PWM, analog, and UART, this 10V–45V DC motor driver is ideal for robotics and high-torque motion systems.
Additionally, it supports dual-unit operation, simplifying differential drive robot configurations. Whether you're building a combat robot or a powerful mobile platform, the Enhanced SmartDrive40 offers robust and intelligent motor control.
Note: Please consider proper wire/cable for the battery and motor, thin jumper wire/cable is not suitable for high current application. It will affect the performance of driver and motor control. We recommend using Multicore Wire AWG14 Red and Multicore Wire AWG14 Black.
