Sinwave controller on Mac 10 motor

There's not enough information to tell.
The Mac 10T is a moderately fast gear reduction motor, that needs a controller with a very high RPM rating, but there's no mention of the max RPM on the website. You might either need to email them or buy a controller known to work with other high speed reduction gear motors such as the Q100 series of motors, or a known high quality controller like the Phaserunner or the Adaptto mini.
I'm very happy with my Phaserunner. It drives my Q100H on 16S, which I think is nearly 10,000rpm. It also drives my Mac 8T on 12S, but I never did the calculations for the actual speed for that one - faster wind, but lower voltage would probably put it somewhere near the same.

That link to that controller, shows that that controller is up to 20 amp.
Why would you only want to go up to 20 amps on a Mac ?
For Motors like the Mac that is 9. 4 pounds ( just the hub ) and heavier DD Hub motors, the reason to get those motors in the first place is to be able to use at least 25 amps-30 amps in the case of the Mac , and more amps on heavier motors.
Have you looked into Powervelocity in Sacramento , California ?
He seems to be making progress in regards to standard controllers.

That controller should be compatible but as already pointed out its a bit weak.
It requires the Hall Sensor connections that are included on the MAC and may take a bit of tuning once you get the sensor sequence matched to the pole sequence. Sensor offsets are more critical on sinewave controllers and takes a bit of patience to set if the software allows.
Like Sunder, I'm running the Phaserunner and it works very well. Very quiet, silent up to about 15 amps. It doesn't have the off-the-line snap the Infineon 12 FET had, which is a good thing for the gears.

Hi ,
Thanks for all replys.
48volt 20a on a mac motor is enough climbing power for me and a perfect top speed on the Mac 10.The reason I use a Mac 10 and not a smaller motor or a Bafang BPM is beacause it takes a lot to make a Mac 10 hot if you use it as a pedelec.Over 14 kmh it wil never get hot.Its BIG diffrence from most other motors
