The MG995 180° Metal Gear TowerPro Servo Motor is a high-torque, high-speed powerhouse designed for heavy-duty applications. At Electrapac, we recommend this servo for projects requiring significant mechanical strength, such as robotic arms, hexapods, and large RC vehicles, where standard plastic servos might fail.

Product Overview

The MG995 is a "standard" size digital servo featuring a robust all-metal gear train and dual ball bearings. This construction ensures high precision and exceptional holding power, making it a favorite for both industrial prototyping and hobbyist robotics.

Key Features for Electrapac Customers

• Mighty Metal Gears: Unlike the plastic gears in the SG90, the MG995's metal internal gears can handle high-stress "jams" without stripping, ensuring a much longer lifespan.

• Double Ball Bearing Design: The output shaft is supported by two ball bearings, which significantly reduces friction and provides a "shake-free" stable movement even under heavy loads.

• Rapid Response Time: As a digital servo, it processes PWM signals much faster than analog versions, resulting in smoother motion and more accurate positioning.

• Weather & Dust Resistant: The internal circuitry is housed in a sturdy, tightly sealed plastic case, making it resilient enough for use in RC boats and monster trucks.

• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Works seamlessly with the standard Servo.h library for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.

Wiring & Connection Guide

The MG995 uses the standard 3-wire color code for easy installation:

1. Orange (Signal): Connect to your microcontroller's PWM pin.

2. Red (VCC): Connect to a 5V–7V external power source.

3. Brown (GND): Connect to the common ground of your circuit.

Important Power Note: Because this servo draws up to 1.2A (Stall Current), we strongly recommend using an external power supply or a battery pack. Powering it directly from an Arduino's 5V pin may cause your board to reset or damage its regulator.

Primary Applications

• Robotics: Ideal for joint movement in robotic arms and bipedal walkers.

• RC Models: Perfect for steering in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars, trucks, and boat rudders.

• Automation: Use it for automatic door locks, solar tracking panels, or heavy-duty camera gimbals.

• Education: A great tool for teaching PID control and mechanical engineering concepts.
