sg90 servo motor
The SG90 servo motor is a compact, lightweight, and versatile actuator that has become a cornerstone in various robotics and automation projects. This miniature servo motor operates on the principle of position feedback control, allowing for precise angular positioning within a 180-degree range. Weighing just 9 grams and measuring approximately 22.2x11.8x31mm, the SG90 packs impressive performance into its diminutive frame. The motor operates on a standard 5V power supply and features a three-wire control system, making it compatible with most microcontroller platforms including Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The SG90's gear system is engineered with durable plastic materials, providing a torque rating of 1.8 kg-cm at 4.8V, which is remarkable for its size. The servo comes equipped with multiple servo horns and mounting hardware, offering flexibility in installation and application. Its operating speed of 0.1 seconds per 60 degrees ensures responsive movement, while the precision control system maintains accuracy within 1-2 degrees. These characteristics make the SG90 particularly suitable for applications in RC vehicles, small robotic arms, animatronics, and various DIY electronics projects where size, weight, and precise position control are crucial factors.
