Increase servo angle

Hello,

Is there a way/hack to increase the angle of a servo, but still with the possibility to control the angle accurate (So no free spinning of the servo)

Thanks in advance.

They all have a "hard stop" on one of the gears, first you'd have to remove that with a hand file or something. Then you'd have to replace the position sensor (usually a pot) with something that could read the additional angle - that won't be so easy to do.

If I were to do it, I would mount the pot external to the servo case, and use some gears to reduce the post travel relative to the servo horn - but that might add a lot of play and jitter.

There are RC "winch servos" for RC sail boats, but I think they are just a continuous rotation servo.

Are you looking to increase a linear deflection, or an increased rotation of what you want to move?

Not on the servo exactly, but what about a simple gear to do what you want?
