Delivers 50A continuous current to brushless DC motor
Operates with 8-30V DC supply for high performance
Ensures safety with E-Stop and over-current protection
Supports BLDC, Position, and Velocity control modes
Requires VINT Hub Phidget for optimal operation
The Phidgets 30V 50A Brushless DC Motor Phidget is a sophisticated brushless DC motor driver designed for high-performance applications. It operates with an 8-30V DC supply input and is capable of delivering up to 50 amps of continuous current, with a peak capacity of 75 amps to a single brushless DC motor. This device requires Hall-effect feedback for optimal functionality.
This motor driver offers three distinct operating modes: BLDC Motor, Position Controller, and Velocity Controller. The Position and Velocity Controller modes leverage the built-in encoder channel or Hall-effect sensor data to provide rapid and precise closed-loop control. Users can manually control the motor in BLDC Motor mode, allowing for the creation of custom control loops. Comprehensive guides and prebuilt tuning software are accessible through the Phidget Control Panel on Windows, facilitating ease of use.
The device is equipped with numerous safety features, including an E-Stop circuit, thermal protection, over-current protection, advanced failsafe modes, supply voltage monitoring, and polarity protection. Additional functionalities such as regenerative braking, surge current limiting, automatic inductance measurement, and electrical isolation enhance the system's reliability and performance. To operate, the motor driver must be connected to a VINT Hub Phidget, and a Power Guard Phidget is recommended for most applications.
Note: Ensure proper connection to a VINT Hub Phidget and use a Power Guard Phidget for most applications to maintain safety and functionality.
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.

Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
