Re: 4W Maximum Power Servos? Huh?

Man, this is harder than I thought - these servo vendors sure don't like to make things easy for us. What the heck is an ounce inch? seconds per 60 degrees? Seriously? I miss newton meters and radians per second



I poked a bit at some of the servos that have been legal in the past to see if my calculation method was ballpark valid. First I converted to Nm and rad/s and then multiplied to get Nm/s (W). I used whatever the companies advertised for 6V.

HS-475HB:
76.0 oz-in Stall
0.18 sec/60° No load
.536 Nm, 5.81 rad/sec, 3.12 W


HS-332HD/HS-325HB
51.0 oz-in Stall
0.15 sec/60° No load
.360 Nm, 6.98 rad/sec, 2.51 W


From this, it looks like no load * max torque might be the formula they use. Wouldn't hurt to officially ask.

Also, can someone please please please check my math? Its quite possible that I dropped something during unit conversion.
