9g 180° Servo with Slip Clutch

This servo from DFRobot has a slip clutch and electronic protection. If the output shaft is turned from outside during operation, the clutch slips instead of damaging the gearbox, and the servo then returns to the target angle. If the servo is blocked, it switches off after 5 seconds to avoid overheating. It is controlled via PWM, for example with the Arduino Servo Library.

Recommended alternative with 300° rotation angle: 9g 300° Servo with Slip Clutch

Recommended Accessories:

• 16-Channel PWM / Servo Driver I2C (PCA9685)
• Motor Control Shield for Arduino V1.0 with L293D
• Servo Cable Servo Extension Cable AWG26 300mm
• Dupont Cable M-M 20cm 20 Pieces

Features:

• Slip clutch protects the gearbox in case of overload
• Switch-off after 5 s blockage
• Rotation angle 180° ±10° via PWM, can be turned all the way round by hand without end stop
• For the full angle use attach(pin, 500, 2500) in the Arduino Servo Library
• 3-pin socket on the cable
• With several servos use a separate 5 V supply, connect GND to the Arduino

Application Examples:

• Robots and grippers that can get blocked
• Kits and teaching where servos are turned by hand
• Moving flaps and pointers
