MG995 Metal Gear High Torque Servo (180 Degree)

The MG995 is a standard-size digital servo with metal gears and 180° travel, for RC aircraft control surfaces, helicopters, payload-drop and camera-tilt mechanisms, and robot arms that need more torque than a micro servo delivers.

Key features

• About 11 kg·cm of torque through a metal gear train
• Operating speed 0.17 s/60° at 4.8 V and 0.14 s/60° at 6 V
• Works from 4.8–7.2 V supplies
• Universal JR/S-type plug fits Futaba, JR, Hitec, Spektrum and most other receivers; takes Futaba-pattern horns
• Servo arms, screws and mounting hardware included

Specifications

• Rotation: 180°
• Operating voltage: 4.8–7.2 V
• Running current: 500–900 mA at 6 V
• Speed: 0.17 s/60° (4.8 V), 0.14 s/60° (6 V)
• Gears: metal
• Plug: JR, 3-wire (brown ground, red power, orange signal)

It draws 500–900 mA while moving at 6 V, more than a receiver or flight controller 5 V pad is meant to supply, so run a dedicated BEC when fitting one or more of these to a drone or plane.
