The MG995 180° Analog Servo Motor is a high-torque hobby servo with a half-metal gear train, designed for RC models, robotic arms, and pan-tilt mechanisms that need reliable positioning under load. It rotates across a 180° range and is controlled with a standard PWM signal.
Key features:
- High Torque Output: Delivers 10 kg.cm of torque at 4.8V and up to 12 kg.cm at 6V, enough for demanding RC and robotics loads.
- Half-Metal Gear Train: Combines metal and plastic gears for improved durability over fully plastic-geared servos at a lower cost than full-metal versions.
- Standard PWM Control: Accepts a standard analog servo pulse signal compatible with Arduino, RC receivers, and servo controllers.
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates from 4.8V to 7.2V, allowing use with common RC battery packs.
- Dual Ball Bearings: Support the output shaft for smoother rotation and reduced wobble under load.
- Universal Mounting Tabs: Standard servo horn and mounting hole pattern fit most RC and robotics hardware.
It’s a solid mid-range choice when a project needs more muscle than a micro servo but doesn’t require a fully metal-geared unit.
