The process makes it possible to detect the speed of rotation of a DC electric motor comprised of at least one winding connectable to a DC voltage supply source via an electronic switch with which there is associated a control circuit operable to provide a pulse width modulated square-wave control signal. The process comprises the operation of interrupting the application of the said control system to the electronic switch for a time period of pre-determined duration, acquiring during this time period a signal correlated to the voltage on the said winding and detecting at least one pre-determined characteristic of this signal in dependence on the speed of rotation of the motor.
