MSC 700™ DC Motor Adjustable Speed Controls
Introducing the industry’s most innovative
DC motor speed controls. MSC 700
controls from Century
®
.
 The fact is, no other speed control even comes close. Because
no other control offers as much convenience, as much quality or as
much affordability.
Convenience and control all in one compact unit.
Whatever your application, count on our MSC 700 units for all the
control you need.
The way they work is simple. They statically convert single phase
AC power to regulated DC. So you get adjustable, reliable speed
control for either permanent magnet or wound field DC motors.
Our controls have adjustable trimpots for easy access to a wide
range of horsepower settings. You won’t have to stock an assort-
ment of shunt resistors to accommodate various horsepower needs.
You can operate our enclosed, dual-voltage models on either 115V
or 230V AC.
There’s more. You can choose from chassis and enclosed models,
with single or dual voltage operation. And for added versatility,
there’s more than a dozen optional accessories.
Century means quality you can count on.
But perhaps the best feature in our control line is the name that’s
behind it. Century. Simply put, our more than 90 years of experience
makes us a world leader in motors and motor accessories. And,
we put coast-to-coast service behind everything we sell with expert
assistance, availability and delivery from a network of Authorized
Service Centers throughout the U.S. So whether you’re producing
original equipment or simply replacing an existing drive, we’ve got the
perfect pick. MSC 700 speed controls, only from Century.
