Our Review
After integrating the KLVN 2/4pcs 180 360 MG995 Metal Gear Servo Motor Servomotor Torque DIY RC Car Robot Helicopter Model Remote Control Aircraft(Half Metal - 360,2PCS) into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Torque: 20 kg-cm, Operating Voltage: 6V - 7.4V, Speed: 0.16 sec/60°.
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.
Overall, the KLVN 2/4pcs 180 360 MG995 Metal Gear Servo Motor Servomotor Torque DIY RC Car Robot Helicopter Model Remote Control Aircraft(Half Metal - 360,2PCS) fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
What We Like
- Standard PWM control works with any Arduino/ESP32 board
- Wide operating voltage range supports various power sources
- Spline output shaft accepts universal servo accessories
- Metal gear train handles high-torque loads without stripping
Watch Out For
- Jitter at rest if PWM signal has noise
- Internal potentiometer wears over thousands of cycles
- Plastic spline wears faster than metal alternatives
