Why Choose MG995?

The MG995 is a popular choice when higher torque and durability are required compared to micro servos. Its metal gears and strong motor make it suitable for applications involving heavier loads and continuous operation.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Requires external power supply (Arduino 5V pin is not sufficient under load)
• Use proper current supply (~1–2A) for stable performance
• Avoid stalling the motor to prevent overheating
