Here is a powerful, low-cost, reliable servo for all your mechatronic needs. This servo is able to take in 6 volts and deliver 83.47 oz-in. of maximum torque at 0.16 sec/60°

This is a tough little servo with a standard 3 pin power and control cable, and all hardware listed below.

Generic servo that has a 25T spline. You can use the hubs and gears that have a 25T spline like the 3F Standard Futaba Splines https://www.servocity.com/html/futaba_servo_splines.html#.VJNSwHsYF8F.




Make sure that you use a separate power supply that is sufficient enough to power the Generic High Torque Servo. 5V from a computer’s USB port and Arduino microcontroller will not be sufficient enough to power the system. The servo can pull enough power to brown out your Arduino or not move the servo.

Solid standard servo

about 4 years ago by TeeJayDub verified purchaser

I’ve used a couple of these. The ball bearing feels like it adds some stability and ruggedness. One motor has been in use for 400 hours of maybe 30% duty cycle at a torque that I have not measured but that is neither particularly light nor terribly heavy, with some software acceleration/deceleration to ease the job. The more generic servos died much sooner in this same job, though that was before I added the software acceleration control so it’s not a great comparison.

Tough excellent servo

about 3 years ago by Member #511394 verified purchaser

Powerful. I am using them imbedded in an arm where they can hold the weight in position with no sweat. Careful though - they do take current when lifting a load. My little power stick could not handle the power drain so I use 4 of them on their own breadboard fed straight from the battery.

Excellent torque, was able to power without shield

about 9 months ago by Member #247434 verified purchaser

This high torque servo was able to connect to my gripper without incident and was able to hold onto quite a bit of weight, even when it was underpowered at 3.3v.

Would buy again!

Works well, I want more.

I cannot say that I have used a lot of servos. I needed something better than the cheapest ones. This one is being used to lift a sensitive digital scale under an object to weight it. It is working very reliably and repeatably moving to exactly the same place each time. Like other servos it has a bit of vibration and this is enough to throw off the weighing (my resolution is in .01 grams). Fortunately it has enough resistance to movement that it looks like if I turn off the power the vibration will be gone. I really appreciated the variety of mounting hardware that came with it. I hope to buy a few more as spares.
