Re: Are Servos Considered Electric Motors?

Yeah. A linkage was what I meant, not literally chaning the torque outputted by the servo.

The best example you can work off of is the camera mount. Look at the linkage on there when you get a chance. If you change the length of the arms, the amount of end rotation changes. If you change the servos ~ 160 degree into ~80 degrees, the torque is doubled.

What and where are you trying to do this, it may be more effective to use a globe or window motor.
