how can I utilize full torque of MG996R

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

MG996R spec

Operating voltage: 4.8 V a 7.2 V
Stall torque: 9.4 kgf·cm (4.8 V ), 11 kgf·cm (6 V)

for Arduino, it works fine, but want to use servo motor with its full toke.

Can you advise me how to utilize servo with full toke with Arduino?

If you mean full TORQUE then you just need to supply the servo from a battery or power supply that can provide sufficient current (around 2.5A). The Arduino can control the servo but the 5V pin cannot supply enough current.

For maximum torque run the servo on 6V.

Hello :slight_smile:

Thank you for your kind reply.
I just bought power adapter(6V 2.5A) and if I connect it to Arduino, motor can have full torque?
or should I get + and - to connect to servo's + and - ?

You need to connect adaptor + and - directly to the servo + and -. The adaptor - also needs to connect to the Arduino GND.

DO NOT POWER SERVO FROM ARDUINO!

There should only be 1 wire from the Arduino to the Servo

GND from battery should be connected to GND of Arduino as well (ALL GND's should be connected)
