Overview
The Minarik SL32 is a field-proven DC motor speed control designed for shunt wound motors operating on 115VDC. This unit accepts standard 115V AC input at 50/60Hz and outputs variable DC voltage to the motor armature, enabling smooth speed regulation from 0 to 100%. With a 2-amp current capacity, the SL32 is ideal for fractional horsepower applications in machine tools, conveyors, fans, and material handling equipment.

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The SL32 is a legacy speed control no longer in production. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering as this is a discontinued model. Newer Minarik DC drive models (MM23001C series and later) offer expanded features, but may require rewiring or panel modifications.
Works With
- 115V AC 50/60Hz single-phase power systems
- Manual potentiometer speed adjustment (no PLC or network integration)
- Standard DC motor terminal connections (A1, A2 armature; F1, F2 field)
- Conventional industrial control wiring and safety equipment
