DFRobot 9g Metal Servo with Analog Feedback - 270°, 1.5kg

Using motors in projects is a great way to take Electronics power and convert it into mechanical force, achieving all kinds of fun or functional actions that can really enhance a project in a way that no other electronics can. However, if there’s one type of motor that can really enhance a project it’s the humble but highly functional servo motor, as these can easily be controlled to turn with precise motions, enabling the creation of turrets, tracking systems and reactive projects that can be quite dynamic compared to standard DC Motors.

This is why we’re always eager to find cool new Servo Motors for awesome Makers like you, such as these DFRobot 9g Metal Servos with Analog Feedback, which offer a 270° rotation and up to 1.5kg of holding torque, while also giving back signals to let your Arduino Boards or other microcontrollers know precisely what position it’s oriented in. By incorporating variable resistance through the potentiometer, this servo takes the VCC input and channels it so that it also gives variable feedback according to the potentiometer within. This way, you can easily see precisely what position it’s in without having to physically see it, further enhancing the functionality and reactive capabilities of projects, and letting you do even more with your favourite electronics.

In terms of the technical properties of these Motors, they are designed with full metal gearing for fantastic durability, with a relatively impressive holding torque of up to 1.5kg. They can be operated on as little as 4.8V or as high as 6V DC, and the analogue feedback signal ranges between 0V and 3.3V DC depending of course on the position of the motor. These seemingly simple features actually make this a particularly advanced servo motor when compared to many others on the market, and we can see it being used in all kinds of different ways for fun Hobbyist Electronics projects, but also for various other motor and sensing related applications too.

As self-proclaimed “Robo-holics”, DFRobot is a company comprised of over 100 staff members, of which 30% are engineers who love to build robots. It was started in 2008 with the goal of embracing and promoting open-source hardware, with a core focus on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and their very own LattePanda development boards. Since then, DFRobot have manufactured over 1300 unique modules, sensors and components that all work together and complement each other, allowing users like us to enjoy a full spectrum of cutting edge robotics and electronics without having to pay premium prices.

With the primary goal of developing and manufacturing great quality products, while making them accessible to as many people as possible, DFRobot are rapidly becoming one of the most common-place brands in the world of open-source robotics and electronics. With more than 1300 products developed in-house, and an impressive range of different categories and specialisations, there are few brands in the world who can compete in terms of quality, accessibility and genuine innovation.
