Re: Servos to control a door

Damien,
It isn't that easy to predict if a servo would work where a motor is now the control. In general, the servo has a lot of torque for it's size but it is afterall, all plastic. The gears inside, the shafts, the coupling are all white plastic. They also have a limited range that is much less than 360 degrees.
