Sabertooth 2x60 Motor Driver

Dimension Engineering: a family of motor drivers for all your needs

The Sabertooth family of motor drivers designed by Dimension Engineering allows you to control motors from 5 to 60A. This version has independent speed and direction operating modes so you can drive lightweight exploration vehicles, bulkier robotics platforms, tank style robots, radio-controlled boats and more.

Sabertooth 2x60 motor driver: massively powerful

With the Sabertooth 2x60 motor driver, you can pilot huge machines: tanks, boats and other vehicles up to 450 kg, or combat robots up to 55 kg. With the regenerative drive, the batteries are charged each time the robot slows down or reverses. Do not forget to take advantage of the differential drive mode, or the 5 Vdc input that can supply power for your microcontroller or receiver (with radio control).
