{"title":"Sabertooth dual 12A motor driver","handle":"sabertooth-dual-12a-motor-driver","url":"/products/sabertooth-dual-12a-motor-driver","description":"\nThis is the new version of the Sabertooth 2x10 motor controller.\nThe Sabertooth 2X12 is one of the most versatile, efficient and easy to use dual motor drivers on the market. It is suitable for medium powered robots - up to 30lbs in combat or 100lbs for general purpose robotics.\nOut of the box, the Sabertooth can supply two DC brushed motors with up to 12A each. Peak currents of 15A are achievable for a few seconds.\nOvercurrent and thermal protection means you'll never have to worry about killing the driver with accidental stalls or by hooking up too big a motor.\nSabertooth 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.\nSabertooth has independent and speed+direction operating modes, making it the ideal driver for differential drive (tank style) robots and more.\nThe operating mode is set with the onboard DIP switches so there are no jumpers to lose. Sabertooth features screw terminal connectors - making it possible for you to build a robot without even soldering.\nSabertooth 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.\nSabertooth 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.\nSabertooth's transistors are switched at ultrasonic speeds (32kHz) for silent operation.\nSPECIFICATIONS \nUp to 18V in: 12A continuous, 15A peak per channel.\n24V in: 12A continuous, 25A peak per channel.\nSynchronous regenerative drive\nUltra-sonic switching frequency\nThermal and overcurrent protection\nLithium protection mode\nInput modes: Analog, R/C, simplified serial, packetized serial\nSize: 2.3\" x 3\" x .7\"\n59 x 75 x 17 mm (2.3x2.95x0.67 in)\n\nDOCUMENTS \n\nSabertooth 2x12.doc (2.8mb)\n\nSabertooth 2x12.pdf (1.8mb)\nQuick start guide.doc\nQuick start guide.pdf\nSabertooth DIP Switch Wizard\n\nMotor driver efficiency comparisonSample RPM versus throttle graph\n\n\nSHIPPING LIST Sabertooth dual 12A motor driver x1\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9345,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-DRI0003","price":163.4,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
