This High-Torque MG996R Digital Servo features metal gearing resulting in extra high 10kg stalling torque in a tiny package. The MG996R is essentially an upgraded version of the famous MG995 servo, and features upgraded shock-proofing and a redesigned PCB and IC control system that make it much more accurate than its predecessor. The gearing and motor have also been upgraded to improve dead bandwith and centering. The unit comes complete with 30cm wire and 3 pin 'S' type female header connector that fits most receivers, including Futaba, JR, GWS, Cirrus, Blue Bird, Blue Arrow, Corona, Berg, Spektrum and Hitec. 


This high-torque standard servo can rotate approximately 120 degrees (60 in each direction). You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos, so it's great for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller with feedback & gear box, especially since it will fit in small places. The MG996R Metal Gear Servo also comes with a selection of arms and hardware to get you set up nice and fast!

Question & Answer

Total 20 questions

Q: This is a really good servo with all metal gears.But this motor is not suitable for arduino servo.h.You can still use it with arduino if you can generate your own pulse.Servo.h will not allow this servo to move to any lower than 12degree. Any less the servo gets stuck, makes noise and draws about 1.2 amp (i used lab power supply).I googled and found arduino code for controlling servo via keyboard.Few modifications to the code and the servo worked perfectly.

Q: i need a powerful servo that can pull up at least 2-3 kg. i have used https://goo.gl/rGB55G this but it can't take the load. can i replace https://goo.gl/rGB55G with this one with my servo.h ardunio program. Questioned by zhrony.bd, 12-Jan-2016

Sorry. We cannot give the exchange. Answered by A.R, 12-Jan-2016 18:01 PM

i will buy one.i need to know that will it work as https://goo.gl/rGB55G in arduino Answered by zhrony.bd, 13-Jan-2016 11:09 AM

Both have completely different specs , size and everything. So, obviously performance will not be same. Answered by A.R, 13-Jan-2016 14:47 PM

Q: is the stall torque actually 15 kg? or 1.5kg? Questioned by AzimAlif, 23-Feb-2016

As it is already written in the specs. Answered by A.R, 23-Feb-2016 12:13 PM

Q: I've seen it, 13 kg - 15kg torque. but, how can it be that much powerful when the other more costly ones are less powerful? Questioned by AzimAlif, 23-Feb-2016

It depends on power But I don't think it can carry that much weight.. Answered by sashanka.pramanik, 29-Apr-2016 18:59 PM

Q: Yes the first commented person Hasib_Rahman is right Please make sure before buying it is "tower pro" or "Tower dpro" though tower pro original but it will not work with arduino properly. But dPro will work but as it is duplicate. Questioned by sashanka.pramanik, 29-Apr-2016

Dear customer, to operate a servo motor you don't have to use any motor driver. But you may have to provide external power to the servo according to the biasing voltage of that servo motor. If you have any problem to understand it, please make a contact with our engineers. Email: technicalsupport@techshopbd.com Cell: +8801833168171 Thanks for with us.

Bought 3 of them. Felt like one had some problem with gear and disassembled that one recently. What I found was that all the gears are made of plastic accept for the end one where is the hinge is attached. Very disappointing, didn't expect this from Techshop.
