Abstract

A speed control method for controlling an electric motor by varying the supply duration of the motor, comprises the steps of: PA1 initially storing, for a constant speed to be obtained, the curve of the current in the motor as a function of the supply duration; PA1 selecting a supply duration; PA1 measuring the resulting current in the motor; and PA1 correcting the supply duration so that the point defined by the supply duration and the resulting measured current converges towards a point of the curve.
