SyRen 10 Motor Driver

SyRen 10 motor driver: give your robot a nimble edge

The SyRen 10 motor driver can supply and drive a DC brushed motor with up to 10A continuously (15A peak). It allows you to make very fast stops and changes of direction. With this regenerative driver from Dimension Engineering, the batteries are charged each time the robot slows down or reverses, for more autonomy. In the differential drive and R/C modes, you can also use two SyRen 10 boards to build differential drive robots.

A motor driver for robots up to 45 kg

The SyRen 10 motor driver is suitable for all types of robots and automated systems as it reads various control signals: examples include radio-controlled boats, tanks, wheeled vehicles and so on. It can drive robots up to 45 kg (15 kg for combat machines).
