Tetrix Servos

[cadandcookies]

They can handle a decent amount-- we've used them for rotating "wrists" and such with no major issues. The main thing to remember is that it is a servo motor-- the more load you put on it, the slower it will rotate. If you don't need the precision that a servo offers, just use a DC motor.

Also, in the future, you may want to post in the "Motors" forum when asking technical questions about motors.

There are also the new "Quarter-Scale" servos available this year, which have a much higher torque than the standard tetrix servos do. They are, however, larger and heavier.

To add, there is also a limit of how many you can use on a servo controller due to the fact that they do draw more power.
