TowerPro MG-996R Servo 4.8-6V 55g 9.4 kg·cm metal gearbox 30 cm cable

TowerPro MG-996R Servo

The TowerPro MG-996R servo is an improved version of the popular MG-995 model. The unit features a robust metal gearbox and an optimized control circuit, delivering higher precision and reliable operation. Its advanced design ensures shock resistance. Maximum torque is 11 kg·cm at 6.0 V supply. The servo offers a rotation range of up to 180° and exceptional response speed. It is ideal for demanding applications such as RC models, robotics, and automation. The module is intended for use with ESP8266, ESP32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi.

The servo has a 30 cm cable terminated with a standard 3-pin “S” connector, which makes wiring much easier. The kit also includes essential accessories: horns, washers, and screws, ready for immediate installation.
