Gary Murphy 1 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I have just seen a range of servo`s made my SPL. The quality looks good for the price. The thing is these servo`s have applications for ,robotics/car/plane/heli. Some have a rotation of 360,270,180 and 90. some that quote car/plane/heli have 180deg as well as 90deg. Do I need to stick with the 90 deg version? for plane/car OR 180 deg? There is a particular thing I see in a product vid,when the servo is not under power the arm can be turned constantly and doe not hit a full position.every servo I have had hits a lock????? In the servo tech sheet "lock on/off" is listed. Does any of this make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I often use TGY 180D MG ones on flaps because the servo is then under zero load with flaps up or down. I cannot think why you would want to use similar on other control surfaces of an aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the servo tech sheet "lock on/off" is listed. Does any of this make sense? One use that I know of for a non-stop (lock OFF?) servo is for a model sailboat winch. The end-points are set in transmitter. I imagine robotics might have similar use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
