The PowerHD HD-2216MG servo is an advanced Micro Plus digital servo, designed for modelers seeking the optimal combination of precision, speed, and durability in a compact form factor. It's a crucial component for control systems where weight and dimensions play a significant role, while also demanding reliability and accurate positioning.
Key Technical Features
Torque: 3.9 kg-cm (at 6V) – Provides substantial power for effective control of aerodynamic surfaces in RC aircraft, mechanisms in helicopters, or steering systems in small RC vehicles.
Speed: 0.13 s/60° (at 6V) – Ensures a fast and responsive reaction to control signals, which is essential for dynamic modeling applications.
Compact Dimensions: 22.8 x 12 x 29.4 mm – Allow for easy integration of the servo even in very confined model spaces, minimizing mounting requirements.
Low Weight: 15.8 g – Minimizes impact on the total model weight, which is particularly important in aviation where every gram counts for performance.
Dead Band Width: 5 µs – Accounts for minimal mechanical play, resulting in very precise servo positioning and no jitters in the neutral position.
Construction and Materials
The PowerHD HD-2216MG servo features the "MG" designation, which indicates the use of precision metal gears in its drive mechanism. This design feature significantly enhances the servo's durability and its resistance to dynamic loads and accidental impacts. A robust casing protects the internal components, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation in demanding modeling environments.
Applications and Compatibility
The PowerHD HD-2216MG servo is a versatile component, finding application in various areas of RC modeling:
RC Aircraft: Ideal for small and medium-sized RC airplanes, serving as a servo for controlling ailerons, elevators, and rudders.
RC Helicopters: Suitable for miniature helicopters.
RC Vehicles: Can be used in small RC car models for steering systems or other functions.
Robotics: Useful in robotic projects requiring precise positioning of arms, sensors, or other mechanisms.
This servo is fully compatible with standard RC radio systems. It works with most receivers using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal and operates within the typical voltage range for model servos (optimized for 6V, with operating capability from 4.8V-6.0V; checking the manufacturer's exact specifications is recommended). The standard JST/JR/Futaba type connector allows for quick and secure connection to existing setups.
