MECHFPV MG996R High Torque Metal Gear Digital Servo for RC Car / Robot / Arduino

Product Overview

The MG996R and MG995 are standard-sized, high-torque servos designed for demanding applications where precise control and heavy lifting are required. The MG996R is an upgraded version of the legendary MG995, featuring a redesigned PCB and control system for significantly improved accuracy, better centering, and a narrower dead bandwidth.

Key Features

• Massive Torque: Delivers a stall torque of up to 13kg-cm to 15kg-cm (at 6V), providing the necessary power for large control surfaces and heavy robotic joints.
• All-Metal Gear Train: Built with high-precision metal gears for extreme durability and resistance to stripping under heavy loads.
• Dual Ball Bearing Design: Ensures smooth, friction-free rotation and provides stable support for the output shaft.
• Precision Control: Advanced digital circuitry (in MG996R) provides rapid response times and consistent holding power.
• Shock-Proof Operation: Redesigned internal components offer enhanced shock protection, making them ideal for off-road RC vehicles and rough environments.

Ideal Applications

• Vehicle & Vessel Manipulators: Perfect for steering systems in large 1/8 and 1/10 scale RC cars, trucks, and monster trucks, as well as rudder control for large RC boats.
• Robotic Arms: High torque makes these the industry standard for DIY robotic grippers, 6-DOF robotic arms, and bipedal walkers.
• Aerial Models: Suitable for large-scale RC airplanes and helicopters requiring high-strength control surface movement.
