The Tower Pro MG996R Digital High Torque Servo Motor is an upgraded digital servo designed for applications demanding strong holding torque, rapid control response, and a lightweight build. Built with a high-strength plastic/nylon gear train, it offers smooth, quiet operation with reduced internal gear friction while providing dependable rotational force for steering linkages, robotic joints, and mechanical actuators.
Operating across a flexible DC power supply range of 4.8V to 7.2V, it delivers up to 10 kg-cm of stall torque at 6.0V. Its upgraded internal digital signal controller ensures high precision, tight deadband control, and instant response to pulse-width modulation (PWM) inputs over a full 180° rotation range (90° in each direction from center).
The servo includes a standard 3-pin connector wire compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and standard RC receivers. It comes complete with an assortment of mounting hardware and plastic horn arms for easy integration into custom project builds.
