MG996R High‑Torque Metal Gear Servo – Precise Actuation for Robotics & RC Applications

The MG996R is a robust, high‑torque metal‑gear servo designed for demanding mechanical tasks. Leveraging a direct‑drive motor coupled to a precision gearbox, it delivers reliable positioning, rapid response, and consistent torque across a wide operating range. Its internal PWM controller interprets standard RC signal levels (1–2 ms pulses every 20 ms) to move the arm to the exact angle requested, making it ideal for robotic arms, CNC control panels, and RC hobbyist projects.

Key advantages include stiff metal gears that resist wear, a broad supply voltage window (4.8–7.2 V) for flexibility in power sourcing, and a short response time of under 0.2 seconds per 60°. The motor’s internal feedback eliminates the need for external position sensors, while its compact, lightweight enclosure keeps payloads low and thermally efficient even under continuous operation.

• Key Spec 1: 9.5 kg⋅cm stall torque at 6 V (7.5 kg⋅cm operating torque, 12 kg⋅cm at runtime)
• Key Spec 2: Metal gear train with 327‑step resolution, PWM control (1–2 ms/20 ms) for 360° positional accuracy
• Key Spec 3: Wide voltage range 4.8–7.2 V, maximum operating current 1.2 A, temperature rating –10 °C to +50 °C
• Common Use Case: Robotic manipulators, CNC machine spindles, camera gimbals, and RC aircraft control surfaces requiring high torque and precision positioning.
