TowerPro MG995 Metal Gear Servo Motor 180 Degree Rotation

The TowerPro MG995 Metal Gear Servo Motor 180 Degree Rotation is a high-torque servo featuring full metal gears for demanding applications. It delivers significantly more torque than micro servos, making it ideal for larger robots, RC vehicles, and heavy-duty mechanisms.

Key Features

• High torque output of 10-15 kg·cm at 6V
• Full metal gears for maximum durability
• 180-degree rotation with precise control
• Standard PWM control compatible with all servo libraries
• Dual ball bearing on output shaft
• Robust construction for heavy loads
• Standard servo size fits standard mounts

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Large robot steering and control
• Robotic arms and grippers
• RC cars, boats, and planes
• Camera platforms with heavier cameras
• Automated gates and doors
• Pan-tilt systems for larger loads

Important Notes

• High current draw (500mA-1A) – use dedicated 5-6V power supply
• Arduino 5V pin cannot power MG995 – external supply required
• Metal gears are durable but noisy compared to nylon
• Connect signal wire to PWM pin, power to external supply
• Add decoupling capacitor (100μF) near servo power pins
