FEETECH FS90 Micro Servo with a LEGO Minifigure as a size reference. |
|---|
Overview
This is a great general-purpose actuator for tiny mechanisms. The FS90 is a 9 g analog servo from FEETECH (formerly known as Fitec) that offers position control over an approximate 120° operating angle for servo pulses between 900 µs and 2100 µs. As with most servos, the pulse range can be expanded to achieve an expanded operating angle, but the limits of this are not specified by FEETECH.
The servo has a 8″ (200 mm) lead that is terminated with a JR-style connector and includes additional servo horns and mounting hardware. The following picture shows an example of the hardware that might be included (actual hardware could vary):

You can find more information about this servo in its datasheet (69k pdf).
Note that as with most hobby servos, stalling or back-driving this servo can strip its gears.
FS90 vs FS90R
Two versions of this servo are available. This product is the FS90, which offers closed-loop position control over a limited range. Alternatively, the FS90R is specifically designed to be a continuous-rotation micro servo that offers open-loop speed control. The FS90 and FS90R have identical dimensions and use the same motor, so the FS90 will also work with our 60×8mm wheel for the FEETECH FS90R.
