A standard-size servo that turns its output shaft through 180° to the position its control signal sets.

Torque and speed both rise with supply voltage across its operating range, so run it at the top of that range when you need the full rating.

It connects through a standard 3-pin servo lead, so any controller that outputs a standard servo signal can drive it: an Arduino directly, or a Raspberry Pi through a PWM servo driver board. Give it its own 4.8–6 V supply rather than a board's 5 V pin, and join that supply's ground to the controller's.

Features

  • Carries the load through metal: a metal gear train drives the splined metal output shaft.

  • Steady positioning: a 5 µs dead band, so pulse-width changes smaller than 5 µs don't move the shaft.

  • Fixes into your build: screw it to a bracket or chassis through the mounting ear at each end of the case.
