Electronic Speed Controllers: A beginner’s Introduction

Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) are the hidden heroes powering remote-controlled vehicles, providing function and performance. These small yet powerful devices regulate the speed and direction of motors, making them the key for any RC application.

ESCs differ based on the applications in which they are used. They can be brushless or brushed; sensored or not. Each one of these ESCs have their own advantages. The basic brushed ESCs control brushed motors which can be controlled by simply varying the voltage to the armature. Brushless ESCs are more complex, creating a three-phase AC power. These ESCs control the motors by varying the pulses and timing.

The different types of ESCs

Brushless ESC are all the rage among RC enthusiasts and also in Industry. This change allows for more powerful motors to be used, providing better performance and smoother control. Further, ESCs with integrated hall effect sensors are used in applications like EVs where variable load and high power requirements are present.

Thus, the use of good ESCs are essential to building a perfect device; whether it is a drone, or a war-bot. A reliable ESC delivers not just good performance but also tolerates large current pulses and delivers on expectations time after time.
