250.00 (Inclusive of GST)

The TowerPro MG996R Metal Gear Servo is a high-torque digital servo motor designed for demanding robotics, RC vehicles, automation, and DIY electronics projects. It features durable metal gears, dual ball bearings, and precise PWM control. With its robust construction, reliable performance, and compatibility with popular microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and STM32, the MG996R is an excellent choice for robotic arms, pan-tilt mechanisms, walking robots, and other applications requiring powerful and accurate motion control.

Description

The TowerPro MG996R is a high-torque, metal-gear servo motor designed for applications requiring strong, reliable torque and robust mechanical performance. Upgraded from earlier models, this servo has a redesigned PCB and control system for improved centering, reduced jitter, and enhanced accuracy.

The metal gear train and dual ball bearings boost durability and allow it to handle heavier loads. It’s suitable for robotics (arms, grippers), RC vehicles, pan-tilt camera systems, and automation projects. Controlled via standard PWM, it integrates easily with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and other RC receivers.
