Servo Motor (SG-90)

Description

The SG90 Micro Servo Motor is a popular choice for hobbyists, makers, and engineers due to its small size, affordability, and reliable performance. Whether you’re building a robot, animating a model, or creating interactive installations, the SG90 servo provides precise control over rotational motion.

Key Features:

1. Compact Design:
   • The SG90’s compact dimensions (23mm x 12.2mm x 29mm) make it suitable for projects with limited space.
   • Weighing only 9 grams, it won’t add unnecessary bulk to your designs.
2. Rotation Range:
   • The servo can rotate from 0° to 180° (approximately).
   • Use it for tasks like opening/closing doors, moving arms, or adjusting camera angles.
3. Precise Positioning:
   • The SG90 provides accurate angular positioning.
   • It responds to control signals with minimal jitter.
4. Operating Voltage:
   • Works well with a wide range of voltages, typically 4.8V to 6V.
   • Compatible with common power sources like AA batteries or a dedicated power supply.
5. Three-Wire Interface:
   • The SG90 connects via a three-wire interface: power (VCC), ground (GND), and control signal (usually connected to a microcontroller’s PWM pin).

Technical Specifications:

• Torque: Up to 1.8 kg/cm (at 4.8V).
• Speed: Approximately 0.12 seconds/60° (at 4.8V).
• Operating Temperature: -30°C to +60°C.
• Connector Type: Standard JR-style servo connector.

Applications:

• Robotics: Use the SG90 for robot joints, grippers, or walking mechanisms.
• RC Vehicles: Control steering, throttle, or camera movement in remote-controlled cars, planes, or boats.
• Model Making: Add motion to miniature models, dioramas, or animatronics.
• Educational Projects: Teach students about servos, feedback control, and automation.
