MG996R Servo Motor Overview
The MG996R Servo Motor is a high torque, metal-gear digital servo designed for precision movement in robotics, RC vehicles, and a wide range of DIY electronics projects. Known for its reliability and durability, the MG996R delivers consistent performance in applications that demand strength and accuracy.
Key Features of the MG996R Servo Motor
- Metal Gear Mechanism – Reinforced metal gears improve strength and lifespan compared to standard plastic gear servos.
- High Torque – Provides up to 9.4 kg-cm torque at 4.8V, suitable for lifting and driving heavier components.
- 180 Degree Rotation – Delivers a wide range of motion for steering, flaps, robotic joints, and other articulated parts.
- Digital Control – Faster response times and more precise positioning than typical analog servos.
- Wide Voltage Range – Operates between 4.8V and 7.2V for compatibility with common battery and power supply setups.
- Reliable and Durable – Designed to withstand frequent use in hobby and light-industrial applications.
Technical Specifications
- Model: MG996R
- Gear Type: Metal gears
- Rotation: 180 degree range
- Torque: Up to 9.4 kg-cm at 4.8V
- Operating Voltage: 4.8V to 7.2V
- Control: Digital PWM signal (standard 3-pin connector: signal, Vcc, ground)
Applications
- Robotics – Robotic arms, grippers, servo-driven joints, and autonomous platforms.
- RC Cars and Vehicles – Steering, throttle control, and other high-load functions.
- Model Aircraft and Drones – Control surfaces such as flaps and elevators where higher torque is needed.
- DIY Electronics – Hobby projects, automated mechanisms, and custom actuators.
Installation and Wiring Tips
- Use a stable power supply within 4.8V to 7.2V. Avoid undervoltage or unstable batteries to prevent jitter or brownouts.
- Provide a common ground between the servo power source and the controller to ensure reliable signal communication.
- For multiple servos or heavy loads, use a dedicated power supply or a BEC to avoid overloading your main controller.
- Mount the servo securely to reduce stress on the gear train; metal-gear servos handle higher stress but proper mounting extends life.
