Our Review
The 8PCS MG995 Analog Metal Gear Servo 20KG Motor delivers solid performance for its category. With Torque: 15 kg-cm, Operating Voltage: 4.8V - 6.8V, Speed: 0.16 sec/60°, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.
Mechanical performance was consistent in our testing. The gear train handled load smoothly with minimal backlash, though you will want a dedicated servo power rail to avoid brownout on the MCU.
Wiring was straightforward. Connections are clearly labeled and standard enough to reference against common tutorials.
For the price point, the 8PCS MG995 Analog Metal Gear Servo 20KG Motor delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where motors & actuators components are essential.
What We Like
- Built-in feedback loop maintains position accurately
- Standard PWM control works with any Arduino/ESP32 board
- Wide operating voltage range supports various power sources
- Metal gear train handles high-torque loads without stripping
Watch Out For
- Plastic spline wears faster than metal alternatives
- Internal potentiometer wears over thousands of cycles
- Limited rotation range without continuous-rotation modification
