Re: Servos - How much can they lift?

Going by GregT's numbers I doubt it.

If you placed something 2 inches from the base of your pinky, and your pinky had the same torque as the servo, then it could lift 21 oz (about 1.3 lbs).

If anything I bet your pinky is stronger than that.

Of course there are different kinds of servos with different torques.
