Control device for driving, for example, a file shredder or similar apparatus

摘要

In the case of a file shredder (11), the rotational speed, power consumption or torque of the motor (13) is indicated via a row (22) of light-emitting diodes, predetermined limit values are recorded per optocoupler (24, 25) and are used to switch the motor off, via a controller (26). A deceleration indication (31) can be provided which likewise causes switching off, decoupling and/or braking of the drive in the event of unacceptably severe slowing down of the motor as a result of blockage by the cut material. <IMAGE>
