In that case, it might be possible to create a "poor man's speed controller" by using a high resolution timer to set or zero relays based on how fast you want the motor to run. Could be useful if you have too many servos taking up PWM outputs.
They are rated for 6 operations a minute at full load, so that would be an extremely slow PWM
