- The servo that Airtronics would recommend for that application is
- their "94141 Precision High Torque Ball Bearing Micro Servo" which
- is 36mm Long, 15mm Wide, 32.5mm High and has metal gears, a very
- small "dead-band" and a torque rating of 3.2 kg/cm. If that servo
- is too thick for you, they also offer the "94501 Microlite Servo"
- which is 27mm Long, 12.5mm Wide, 27mm High and is specified at
- 2.0 kg/cm torque. The 94501 uses non-standard splines, so be sure
- to order an extra set of arms, etc to go with it. The 94501 is the
- smallest servo in my 1992 Airtronics catalog, it weighs 16 grams.
- The 94141 is also fairly light at 33 grams, FWIW.
-
- Hope this helps.
