DART CONTROLS

Dart Controls is a US-based manufacturer of electronic speed controls, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and panel instrumentation, with a history dating back to 1963. The company's product line is built around the control and monitoring of electric motors and rotating machinery, serving original equipment manufacturers and end users in industrial, commercial, and municipal applications. Dart Controls' portfolio includes DC motor speed controls, AC variable frequency drives, digital panel meters, tachometers, pulse generators, and accessories such as heat sinks and mounting hardware. These products are used in conveyor systems, pumps, fans, mixers, and other process equipment where precise speed regulation or rotational feedback is required. The VFDs, such as the EZ VFD series, accept single-phase input and provide three-phase output, with models rated at 1 hp and featuring heat sinks for thermal management. Panel meters and tachometers, like the DM8000 and DP4, offer digital displays with accuracy specifications such as 0.4% of reading and NEMA 4X enclosures for washdown environments. Pulse generators, including the PU-2E, PU-20E, and PU-40E, provide 1, 10, or 20 pulses per revolution at speeds up to 5,000 RPM, with 3-wire 18 AWG conductors and 6 ft output cables. These components are typically used for speed sensing and position feedback in automation and process control systems. 3G Electric supplies the Dart Controls line to industrial buyers worldwide, supporting procurement with access to multiple SKUs, technical specification interpretation, and logistics coordination. The product range covers input voltages of 120/240V AC for panel instruments, relay outputs rated at 250VAC @ 5A, and output voltages such as 5V DC for tachometer signal conditioning. Dart Controls products are designed for panel mounting or enclosed installation, with construction details that include heat sinks on drives and NEMA-rated enclosures on meters. For maintenance managers and plant engineers, the availability of pulse generators with different pulses-per-revolution options allows matching to existing control systems without redesign. The VFDs provide a compact means of converting single-phase supply to three-phase motor operation, with no bypass and heat sink cooling as standard on the models listed. 3G Electric's role is to make these components accessible to global buyers, handling inquiries, providing product data, and arranging shipment. The company does not manufacture Dart Controls products but acts as a distributor, ensuring that customers can obtain genuine parts with the specified technical characteristics. This includes items such as the VF100E and VF100E-29 drives, the DM8000 tachometer, the DP4 panel meter, and the PU series pulse generators. By maintaining a catalog of Dart Controls SKUs, 3G Electric enables procurement specialists to source these components alongside other industrial equipment, consolidating orders and reducing lead times. The technical data provided for each product—such as maximum speed, pulse count, display span, and relay ratings—allows engineers to verify compatibility with their existing systems. Dart Controls' focus on motor control and speed sensing aligns with the needs of industries that rely on rotating equipment, including manufacturing, water treatment, and HVAC. The products are not consumer-grade; they are intended for integration into control panels and machinery, where reliability and repeatability are important. 3G Electric supports this by offering detailed specifications and application guidance, helping buyers select the correct model for their specific requirements. Whether the need is for a replacement pulse generator, a new VFD for a conveyor, or a panel meter for a control room, the Dart Controls line provides options that meet common industrial standards. 3G Electric's global shipping capabilities mean that customers are not limited by geography when sourcing these components.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about DART CONTROLS from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the Dart Controls PU-2E, PU-20E, and PU-40E pulse generators?

The primary difference is the number of pulses produced per revolution of the shaft. The PU-2E provides 1 pulse per revolution, the PU-20E provides 10 pulses per revolution, and the PU-40E provides 20 pulses per revolution. All three models have a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM, use a 3-wire 18 AWG conductor, and come with a 6 ft output cable. The choice depends on the resolution required by the control system: higher pulse counts allow finer speed or position measurement. These pulse generators are typically used for speed sensing and position feedback in industrial automation.

What are the input and output specifications of the Dart Controls VF100E variable frequency drive?

The Dart Controls VF100E is a 1 hp variable frequency drive that accepts single-phase input and provides three-phase output. It includes a heat sink for cooling and does not have a bypass. The VF100E-29 is a similar model with the same ratings. These drives are used for speed control of three-phase motors in applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans. The single-phase input allows the drive to be used where only single-phase power is available, while still operating a three-phase motor. The heat sink ensures thermal management under continuous operation.

What is the display range and accuracy of the Dart Controls DM8000 panel mount tachometer?

The Dart Controls DM8000 panel mount tachometer displays rotational speed from 1 to 9,999 RPM with an accuracy of 0.4% of reading. It operates on 120/240V AC input and provides a 5V DC output. The output current rating is 5 A. This tachometer is designed for panel mounting and is used in industrial machinery, engines, and conveyors to monitor speed. The 0.4% accuracy specification makes it suitable for applications where precise speed indication is required, such as process control or equipment monitoring.

What enclosure rating does the Dart Controls DP4 digital panel meter have?

The Dart Controls DP4 AC voltage digital panel meter is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure. This rating indicates that the meter is suitable for washdown or corrosive environments, as it provides protection against dust, water, and corrosion. The DP4 features a red LED display with a 0 to 9,999 display span and includes a SPDT relay rated at 250VAC @ 5A and 28VDC @ 1A. The NEMA 4X rating makes it appropriate for food processing, chemical plants, or outdoor installations where moisture or cleaning agents are present.

Can 3G Electric supply Dart Controls pulse generators with different pulses per revolution?

Yes, 3G Electric supplies Dart Controls pulse generators in multiple configurations, including models with 1, 10, and 20 pulses per revolution. The available SKUs include the PU-2E, PU-20E, and PU-40E, all with a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM and a 6 ft output cable. These units are used for speed sensing and position feedback. 3G Electric provides access to these products globally, allowing customers to select the pulse count that matches their control system requirements. Technical specifications are available for each model to aid in selection.

What are typical applications for Dart Controls EZ VFD series drives?

Dart Controls EZ VFD series drives, such as the VF100E and VF100E-29, are typically used for speed control of three-phase motors in applications including conveyors, pumps, fans, and mixers. They convert single-phase input to three-phase output at 1 hp, making them suitable for equipment where three-phase power is not available but three-phase motor operation is desired. The drives include a heat sink for thermal management and have no bypass. These VFDs are commonly found in industrial settings where variable speed control improves process efficiency or energy consumption.
