Mini Metal Servomotor

Small Servo Motors

Servo motors are controlled motors used for positioning. They are easy to control to create a pendulum motion or a back-and-forth movement over a quarter circle.

Compatibility

These motors follow the standard servo protocol and can be powered by 5 volts. They can be controlled in real time, meaning they respond to all commands sent by a dedicated 8-Servo (MIDI or DMX) or 4-Servo 4-PWM board. They are compatible with all of our servo-compatible boards. For more information on the motors themselves, see the Servo Motors page.

Torque means that the motor can lift an object weighing up to 1.5 kg if it is centered on its axis, that it can lift a 150-gram object if the lever arm is 10 cm, and so on, with the maximum load decreasing as the distance from the axis increases.
