Description:
The MG996 Plastic Gear 13KG 180° Servo Motor is a high-torque rotary actuator designed for robotics, RC vehicles, automation systems, and Arduino-based projects. With a torque output of up to 13kg-cm and a 180-degree rotation range, this servo provides smooth and precise motion control for applications requiring moderate load handling and accurate positioning. It operates on a standard PWM signal, making it compatible with popular development platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.
Built with durable plastic gears, the MG996 offers a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to metal gear servos while maintaining reliable performance for educational, DIY, and hobby projects. Its fast response time, stable operation, and easy integration make it ideal for robotic arms, pan-tilt camera systems, smart vehicles, automated mechanisms, and STEM learning applications. The servo supports an operating voltage range of 4.8V to 7.2V and comes with mounting accessories for quick installation.
