MG996R High Torque Metal Gear Servo
Product Overview
The MG996R from Pro Tronix is a high-torque, metal-gear digital servo that represents an evolution in the “standard size” servo category. While it looks identical to the MG995, the MG996R features a redesigned internal PCB and IC control system which provides much better accuracy and holding power.
This servo is built for toughness. The all-metal gear train ensures that the motor won’t strip under sudden loads, while the double ball-bearing design provides smooth, jitter-free movement. It is the go-to actuator for projects that require moving heavy mechanical parts, such as the base of a robotic arm or the steering of a large RC truck.

Key Features
-
Improved Precision: Enhanced internal circuitry reduces “hunting” and jitter, providing much smoother positioning than older models.
-
Heavy-Duty Torque: Capable of pulling up to 11kg at 6V, making it suitable for industrial-style DIY automation.
-
Rugged Durability: The combination of metal gears and a reinforced casing allows for high-impact use in rough terrain RC vehicles.
-
Wide Voltage Range: Operates reliably across a variety of power sources, from 4.8V NiMH packs to 7.2V regulated supplies.
Common Applications
-
Advanced Robotics: Controlling the main joints of bipedal robots or heavy-duty hexapods.
-
Industrial Automation: Actuating valves, heavy levers, or sorting mechanisms in prototype machinery.
-
Large RC Models: Steering for 1/8 scale buggies, monster trucks, and control surfaces for large-scale gas airplanes.
-
Security Systems: Moving heavy camera housings or pan-tilt laser security rigs.
💡 Essential Tip: To reach the maximum torque of 11kg-cm, ensure your power supply can provide at least 2A of burst current. Standard Arduino USB power is usually insufficient for this motor under heavy load.

Quality assured by Pro Tronix.
SG90 Micro Servo Motor | 180° Rotation
The world’s most popular micro servo for hobbyists and students. Lightweight, affordable, and incredibly easy to control, the SG90 is the go-to choice for small-scale robotics, camera gimbals, and Arduino-based automation projects. Quality assured by Pro Tronix.
Product Overview
The SG90 Micro Servo from Pro Tronix is a tiny but mighty actuator that has become a staple in the maker community. Weighing only 9 grams, it packs enough punch to move small linkages, open latches, or rotate sensors.
Because it operates on a standard 180-degree rotation, you can precisely control its position to any angle between 0 and 180 degrees using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). It is designed to work perfectly with the 5V output of an Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi, making it the ideal entry point for anyone learning about motion control and robotics.
